Canon 1143. §1 In virtue of the pauline privilege, a marriage entered into by two unbaptised persons is dissolved in favour of the faith of the party who received baptism, by the very fact that a new marriage is contracted by that same party, provided the unbaptised party departs.

§2 The unbaptised party is considered to depart if he or she is unwilling to live with the baptised party, or to live peacefully without offence to the Creator, unless the baptised party has, after the reception of baptism, given the other just cause to depart.

§1. Matrimonium initum a duobus non baptizatis solvitur ex privilegio paulino in favorem fidei partis quae baptismum recepit, ipso facto quo novum matrimonium ab eadem parte contrahitur, dummodo pars non baptizata discedat.

§2. Discedere censetur pars non baptizata, si nolit cum parte baptizata cohabitare vel cohabitare pacifice sine contumelia Creatoris, nisi haec post baptismum receptum iustam illi dederit discedendi causam.
