STANTE MATRIMONIO

Stante matrimonio is a Latin term used in history to refer to a marriage that remains undissolved.

1. Even though they have been living separately for years, their marriage is still considered stante matrimonio as they have not legally divorced.

2. The couple's legal separation did not affect their stante matrimonio status, as they were still married in the eyes of the law.

The term stante matrimonio is used to describe a marriage that has not been legally dissolved. In the examples provided, both couples are still considered married despite living separately or being legally separated. This is because they have not gone through the process of obtaining a divorce, which would dissolve their marriage.
