medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Non-consumation is but one ground for annulment. Coercion or lack of
consent is another.
For medieval ideas of "divorce a vinculo", see R. Helmholz, Marriage
litigation in medieval England (Cambridge, 1974), chapter III.
[Helmholz notes both that canon lawed the presumption of validityy of
marriage and that "divorce" did not mean in medieval law what we mean
today.]
For more recent Catholic thought on dissolution of marriage, see John
T. Noonan Jr., Power to dissolve (Cambridge, MA, 1972).
