context_page_description: Spain uses the system of male-preference cognatic primogeniture. Dynasts who marry against the express prohibition of the monarch and the Cortes are excluded from the succession together with their descendants. A prohibition expressed only by the monarch or only by the Cortes will have no consequences to the succession. Disputes about the succession are to be settled by legislation.
  Upon succeeding to the throne, the monarch is required by article 61 of the 1978 constitution to take an oath on the occasion of his being proclaimed before the Cortes Generales.
