The Sanctifying Function of the Church » Other Acts of Divine Worship » A Vow and An Oath » A vow
Canon 1191. §1 A vow is a deliberate and free promise made to God, concerning some good which is possible and better. The virtue of religion requires that it be fulfilled.

§2 Unless they are prohibited by law, all who have an appropriate use of reason are capable of making a vow.

§3 A vow made as a result of grave and unjust fear or of deceit is by virtue of the law itself invalid.

§1. Votum, idest promissio deliberata ac libera Deo facta de bono possibili et meliore, ex virtute religionis impleri debet.

§2. Nisi iure prohibeantur, omnes congruenti rationis usu pollentes, sunt voti capaces.

§3. Votum metu gravi et iniusto vel dolo emissum ipso iure nullum est.
