Canon 1161. §1 The retroactive validation of an invalid marriage is its validation without the renewal of consent, granted by the competent authority. It involves a dispensation from an impediment if there is one and from the canonical form if it had not been observed, as well as a referral back to the past of the canonical effects.

§2 The validation takes place from the moment the favour is granted; the referral back, however, is understood to have been made to the moment the marriage was celebrated, unless it is otherwise expressly provided.

§3 A retroactive validation is not to be granted unless it is probable that the parties intend to persevere in conjugal life.

§1. Matrimonii irriti sanatio in radice est eiusdem, sine renovatione consensus, convalidatio, a competenti auctoritate concessa, secumferens dispensationem ab impedimento, si adsit, atque a forma canonica, si servata non fuerit, necnon retrotractionem effectuum canonicorum ad praeteritum.

§2. Convalidatio fit a momento concessionis gratiae; retrotractio vero intellegitur facta ad momentum celebrationis matrimonii, nisi aliud expresse caveatur.

§3. Sanatio in radice ne concedatur, nisi probabile sit partes in vita coniugali perseverare velle.
Canon 1162. §1 If consent is lacking in either or both of the parties, a marriage cannot be rectified by a retroactive validation, whether consent was absent from the beginning or, though given at the beginning, was subsequently revoked.

§2 If the consent was indeed absent from the beginning but was subsequently given, a retroactive validation can be granted from the moment the consent was given.

§1. Si in utraque vel alterutra parte deficiat consensus, matrimonium nequit sanari in radice, sive consensus ab initio defuerit, sive ab initio praestitus, postea fuerit revocatus.

§2. Quod si consensus ab initio quidem defuerat, sed postea praestitus est, sanatio concedi potest a momento praestiti consensus.
Canon 1163. §1 A marriage which is invalid because of an impediment or because of defect of the legal form, can be validated retroactively, provided the consent of both parties persists.

§2 A marriage which is invalid because of an impediment of the natural law or of the divine positive law, can be validated retroactively only after the impediment has ceased.

§1. Matrimonium irritum ob impedimentum vel ob defectum legitimae formae sanari potest, dummodo consensus utriusque partis perseveret.

§2. Matrimonium irritum ob impedimentum iuris naturalis aut divini positivi sanari potest solummodo postquam impedimentum cessavit.
Canon 1164. A retroactive validation may validly be granted even if one or both of the parties is unaware of it; it is not, however, to be granted except for a grave reason.

Sanatio valide concedi potest etiam alterutra vel utraque parte inscia; ne autem concedatur nisi ob gravem causam.
Canon 1165. §1 Retroactive validation can be granted by the Apostolic See.

§2 It can be granted by the diocesan Bishop in individual cases, even if a number of reasons for nullity occur together in the same marriage, assuming that for a retroactive validation of a mixed marriage the conditions of can. 1125 will have been fulfilled. It cannot, however, be granted by him if there is an impediment whose dispensation is reserved to the Apostolic See in accordance with can. 1078 §2, or if there is question of an impediment of the natural law or of the divine positive law which has now ceased.

§1. Sanatio in radice concedi potest ab Apostolica Sede.

§2. Concedi potest ab Episcopo dioecesano in singulis casibus, etiam si plures nullitatis rationes in eodem matrimonio concurrant, impletis condicionibus, de quibus in can. 1125, pro sanatione matrimonii mixti; concedi autem ab eodem nequit, si adsit impedimentum cuius dispensatio Sedi Apostolicae reservatur ad normam can. 1078, §2, aut agatur de impedimento iuris naturalis aut divini positivi quod iam cessavit.
