El sistema canónico actual parece no excluir la praxis de hacer operativo el proceso de nulidad matrimonial también en relación con matrimonios que los católicos hayan celebrado entre ellos sin observar la forma canónica. En particular, la justa causa del proceso, en el caso, vendrá identificada por el hecho de que dos católicos están unidos en matrimonio entre ellos, y en tal sentido opera el actual aprecio jurídico de tres figuras, cuya dimensión unitiva parece justificar precisamente el ejercicio de la potestad jurisdiccional sobre matrimonios que los católicos han celebrado sin observar la forma canónica. La primera es la función renovada que ha de reconocerse a la forma canónica en la nueva legislación (conditio iuris de validez pero no de existencia del matrimonio). Los otros dos elementos considerados para justificar el ejercicio de la potestad jurisdiccional en el caso son: la dimensión renovada, dinámica y participada, de la pertenencia eclesial y la renovada dimensión pastoral del proceso canónico. Por su parte, el fumus boni iuris de la demanda judicial vendrá identificado por el hecho de que dos católicos han elegido precisamente celebrar su matrimonio, de modo conforme a un rito matrimonial institucionalizado.

The actual canonical system does not seem to exclude the praxis of making operative the process of matrimonial nullity in relation with the marriages that Catholics may have celebrated without observing the canonical form. In particular, the just cause of the process, in the case, will be identified by the fact that two Catholics are united in marriage, and in that sense, the actual juridical appraisal of the three figures operates, the unitive dimension of which seems to justify precisely the exercise of the jurisdictional power about marriages that Catholics have celebrated without observing the canonical form. The first one is the renewed function that has to be recognized to the canonical form in the new legislation (conditio iuris of the validity but not of the existence of marriage). The other two elements considered to justify the exercise of the jurisdictional power in the case are: the renewed, dynamic and participated dimension of the ecclesial affiliation and the renewed pastoral dimension of the canonical procedure. For its part, the fumus boni iuris of the petition will be identified by the fact that two Catholics have opted precisely to celebrate their marriage, in a manner which conforms to the institutionalised marriage rite.
