In the precept, imposed by an ecclesiastical judge on a particular individual, in link with declaring the nullity of marriage, that prevents them from contracting another marriage, at least until the make-up of the nullity of the number one marriage has ceased. A vetitum prohibits marriage in the Catholic Church until the prohibition is removed.
The term describes a prohibition against a particular behavior or action that is affixed to a party whose marriage was declared found to hold been null in a declaration of nullity from a matrimonial tribunal of the Catholic Church. This prohibition or directive may involve one or both of the parties. A vetitum is imposed to delay the celebration of a future marriage until a precondition condition has been fulfilled or addressed. Thus, the pastoral purpose of a vetitum is to assistance an individual and/or a couple mention the underlying problems that led to the breakdown of a former marriage union. At times a recommendation or a warning a monitum may also be shown by the tribunal which processes a formal petition for nullity.
