Canon 1697. The parties alone, or indeed one of them even if the other is unwilling, have the right to seek the favour of a dispensation from a ratified and non-consummated marriage.
Soli coniuges, vel alteruter, quamvis altero invito, ius habent petendi gratiam dispensationis super matrimonio rato et non consummato.

Canon 1698. §1 Only the Apostolic See gives judgement on the fact of the non-consummation of a marriage and on the existence of a just reason for granting the dispensation.
§2 The dispensation, however, is given by the Roman Pontiff alone.
§1. Una Sedes Apostolica cognoscit de facto inconsummationis matrimonii et de exsistentia iustae causae ad dispensationem concedendam.
§2. Dispensatio vero ab uno Romano Pontifice conceditur.

Canon 1699. §1 The diocesan Bishop of the place of domicile or quasidomicile of the petitioner is competent to accept the petition seeking the dispensation. If the request is well founded, he must arrange for the instruction of the process.
§2 If, however, the proposed case has special difficulties of a juridical or moral order, the diocesan Bishop is to consult the Apostolic See.
§3 Recourse to the Apostolic See is available against the decree of a Bishop who rejects the petition.
§1. Competens ad accipiendum libellum, quo petitur dispensatio, est Episcopus dioecesanus domicilii vel quasi-domicilii oratoris, qui, si constiterit de fundamento precum, processus instructionem disponere debet.
§2. Si tamen casus propositus speciales habeat difficultates ordinis iuridici vel moralis, Episcopus dioecesanus consulat Sedem Apostolicam.
§3. Adversus decretum quo Episcopus libellum reicit, patet recursus ad Sedem Apostolicam.

Canon 1700. §1 Without prejudice to the provisions of can. 1681, the Bishop is to assign the instruction of these processes, in a stable manner or case by case, to his own tribunal or to that of another diocese, or to a suitable priest.
§2 If, however, a judicial plea has been introduced to declare the nullity of the same marriage, the instruction of the process is to be assigned to the same tribunal.
§1. Firmo praescripto can. 1681, horum processuum instructionem committat Episcopus, stabiliter vel in singulis casibus, tribunali suae vel alienae dioecesis aut idoneo sacerdoti.
§2. Quod si introducta sit petitio iudicialis ad declarandam nullitatem eiusdem matrimonii, instructio ad idem tribunal committatur.

Canon 1701. §1 In these processes the defender of the bond must always intervene.
§2 An advocate is not admitted, but the Bishop can, because of the difficulty of a case, allow the petitioner or respondent to have the assistance of an expert in the law.
§1. In his processibus semper intervenire debet vinculi defensor.
§2. Patronus non admittitur, sed, propter casus difficultatem, Episcopus permittere potest ut iurisperiti opera orator vel pars conventa iuvetur.

Canon 1702. In the instruction of the process both parties are to be heard. As far as possible, and provided they can be reconciled with the nature of these processes, the canons concerning the collection of evidence in the ordinary contentious process and in cases of nullity of marriage are to be followed.
In instructione uterque coniux audiatur et serventur, quatenus fieri possit, canones de probationibus colligendis in iudicio contentioso ordinario et in causis de matrimonii nullitate, dummodo cum horum processuum indole componi queant.

Canon 1703. §1 There is no publication of the acts, but if the judge sees that, because of the evidence tendered, a serious obstacle stands in the way of the plea of the petitioner or the exception of the respondent, he can prudently make it known to the party concerned.
§2 To the party requesting it the judge can show a document which has been presented or evidence which has been received, and he can set a time for the production of arguments.
§1. Non fit publicatio actorum; iudex tamen, si conspiciat petitioni partis oratricis vel exceptioni partis conventae grave obstaculum obvenire ob adductas probationes, id parti cuius interest prudenter patefaciat.
§2. Parti instanti documentum allatum vel testimonium receptum iudex ostendere poterit et tempus praefinire ad deductiones exhibendas.

Canon 1704. §1 When the instruction is completed, the judge instructor is to give all the acts, together with a suitable report, to the Bishop. The Bishop is to express his
Opinion on the merits of the case in relation to the alleged fact of non-consummation, the adequacy of the reason for dispensation, and the opportuneness of the favour.
§2 If the instruction of the process has been entrusted to another tribunal in accordance with can. 1700, the observations in favour of the bond of marriage are to be prepared in that same tribunal. The Opinion spoken of in §1 is, however, the province of the Bishop who gave the commission and the judge instructor is to give him, together with the acts, a suitable report on the case.
§1. Instructor, peracta instructione, omnia acta cum apta relatione deferat ad Episcopum, qui votum pro rei veritate promat tum super facto inconsummationis tum super iusta causa ad dispensandum et gratiae opportunitate.
§2. Si instructio processus commissa sit alieno tribunali ad normam can. 1700, animadversiones pro vinculo in eodem foro conficiantur, sed votum de quo in §1 spectat ad Episcopum committentem, cui instructor simul cum actis aptam relationem tradat.

Canon 1705. §1 The Bishop is to transmit all the acts to the Apostolic See together with his Opinion and the observations of the defender of the bond.
§2 If, in the judgement of the Apostolic See, a supplementary instruction is required, this will be notified to the Bishop, with a statement of the items on which the acts are to be supplemented.
§3 If, however, the answer of the Apostolic See is that the non-consummation is not proven from the evidence produced, then the expert in law mentioned in can. 1701
§2 can inspect the acts of the case, though not the Opinion of the Bishop, in the tribunal office, in order to decide whether anything further of importance can be brought forward to justify another submission of the petition.
§1. Acta omnia Episcopus una cum suo voto et animadversionibus defensoris vinculi transmittat ad Sedem Apostolicam.
§2. Si, iudicio Apostolicae Sedis, requiratur supplementum instructionis, id Episcopo significabitur, indicatis elementis circa quae instructio complenda est.
§3. Quod si Apostolica Sedes rescripserit ex deductis non constare de inconsummatione, tunc iurisperitus de quo in can. 1701, §2 potest acta processus, non vero votum Episcopi, invisere in sede tribunalis ad perpendendum num quid grave adduci possit ad petitionem denuo proponendam.

Canon 1706. The rescript of dispensation is sent by the Apostolic See to the Bishop. He is to notify the parties of the rescript, and also as soon as possible direct the parish priests of the place where the marriage was contracted and of the place where baptism was received, to make a note of the granting of the dispensation in the registers of marriage and baptism.
Rescriptum dispensationis a Sede Apostolica transmittitur ad Episcopum; is vero rescriptum partibus notificabit et praeterea parocho tum loci contracti matrimonii tum suscepti baptismi quam primum mandabit, ut in libris matrimoniorum et baptizatorum de concessa dispensatione mentio fiat.
