The symposium „I take You to be my wife / husband...? What do the nupturients mean today?”was held on November 15, 2018. It was organized by the Faculty of Canon Law of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków. The main topic of the conference was the meaning of matrimonial consent. During two sessions there were five lectures delivered. The lectures in the first session concerned the faith of the nupturients as the element of matrimonial consent, verifying it nupturients do not exclude indissolubility of marriage, and the question as to whether a marriage motivated by pregnancy always incurs manifest nullity within the meaning of the Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio of Supreme Pontiff Francis Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus. The last two lectures discussed marriages contracted for other than specifically religious reasons (e.g. economical), and pre-nuptial agreements –especially their influence on the validity of matrimonial consent.
