Dignitas connubii is an instruction issued by the
Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, and the Tribunal of the Roman Rota.[2] It was partially obrogated by the matrimonial nullity trial reforms of Pope Francis
in 2015, but remains in effect.
Purpose
According to Cardinal
Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts which issued the instruction, the purpose of Dignitas connubii was to give the ministers of justice (tribunal officers) a practical and convenient guide for handling tribunal work in matrimonial nullity processes.[2] It was intended to serve the same purpose that a similar instruction, Provida Mater, had in 1936[2] under the 1917 Code of Canon Law
