The Roman Pontiff may dispense from a marriage ratum sed non consummatum since, having been ratified (ratum) but not consummated (sed non consummatum), it is not absolutely unbreakable.
Takhta Suci dapat memberikan dispensasi atas perkawinan ratum sed non consummatum karena, meski telah diratifikasi (ratum) tetapi belum disempurnakan (sed non consummatum), tidak benar-benar tak terpisahkan.
