The article presents the underlying assumptions related to the theoretical aspects of emergence of contradiction in a matrimonial nullity trial as a result of the marriage being challenged by one of the spouses, both spouses, or a promoter of justice. In this context the discussion concerns the essence of the principle of bilateralism and the adversarial procedure, as contradiction can only emerge where there are two sides in a trial presenting contradictory positions.
