Canon 1196. Besides the Roman Pontiff, the following can dispense from private vows, provided the dispensation does not injure the acquired rights of others;

1° the local Ordinary and the parish priest, in respect of all their own subjects and also of peregrini;

2° the Superior of a religious institute or of a society of apostolic life, if these are clerical and of pontifical right, in respect of members, novices and those who reside day and night in a house of the institute or society;

3° those to whom the faculty of dispensing has been delegated by the Apostolic See or by the local Ordinary.

Praeter Romanum Pontificem, vota privata possunt iusta de causa dispensare, dummodo dispensatio ne laedat ius aliis quaesitum:

1° loci Ordinarius et parochus, quod attinet ad omnes ipsorum subditos atque etiam peregrinos;

2° Superior instituti religiosi aut societatis vitae apostolicae, si sint clericalia iuris pontificii, quod attinet ad sodales, novitios atque personas, quae diu noctuque in domo instituti aut societatis degunt;

3° ii quibus ab Apostolica Sede vel ab Ordinario loci delegata fuerit dispensandi potestas.
