Abstract

In the presented study, the Author addressed the problem of the role of experts in trials for annulment in the judgments of the Roman Rota, but in a specific perspective, which was the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder on consensual incapacity to contract marriage. He examined this problem by distinguishing between judgments in which marriage was annulled and judgments in which it was not. An interesting thread is the question of the critical relation of rota’s judges to expert opinions.

The Author showed that in all the judgments examined, experts played an important role; their expert opinions had a significant influence on the adjudication. As a rule, the opinions of the rotal experts as to the mental state of the party (parties) to the trial were in line with those of the experts appearing in the lower tribunals, and that an important component of the assessment of the mental state was the question of the severity of the disorder.
