Abstract

In the first part the author focuses on the state of the present study on natural law in the Church and in the Catholic academic centers. The impulse for the research came from John Paul II’s speech, from 6th Feb. 2004, to participants of the session of the  Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Next part includes the classification of the causes of invalidity of matrimonial consent. The special attention was paid to the  discussion about the origin of canons: 1098 and 1103 CIC 1983.
At the end of the article, the author analyzes the relation, contained in the title of the article that obtains between natural law and invalidity of matrimonial consent. The deliberation took into consideration some circumstances in which matrimonial consent is  expressed such as: respect for nature law, ethical order, and legal protection of act of will.
