diriment impediment

Read a random definition: act of omission

A quick definition of diriment impediment:

A diriment impediment is something that makes a marriage completely invalid. It could be something like being closely related to the person you want to marry or already being married to someone else. This means that the marriage is not legally recognized and is considered void.

A more thorough explanation:

A diriment impediment is a fact that makes a marriage completely invalid. It is a legal barrier that prevents a marriage from being recognized as valid. This means that if a diriment impediment is present, the marriage is considered void and never existed in the eyes of the law.

Examples of diriment impediments include:

  • Consanguinity within a prohibited degree: This means that the couple is too closely related to each other, such as siblings or parent and child.
  • Prior undissolved marriage: If one or both parties are still legally married to someone else, they cannot enter into a new marriage.

These examples illustrate how a diriment impediment can completely nullify a marriage. If a couple is found to have a diriment impediment, their marriage is considered void from the beginning, and they are not legally recognized as married.
