Józef Pelczar, marital law, betrothalAbstract
The article is an example of an excellent explanation of the subject matter, drawn up by Father Pelczar on the basis of the current legal doctrine and relevant case studies which facilitate a better understanding of the subject. The basic source for the paper is the handbook written by Father Józef Sebastian Pelczar entitled Prawo małżeńskie katolickie z uwzględnieniem prawa cywilnego obowiązującego w Ausryi, w Prusach i w Królestwie Polskim published in Kraków in 1898. The contents discuss the following issues relating to the institution of betrothal: requirements for betrothal validity, form of oath used during betrothal, types of betrothal, effects of concluded betrothal, renouncement of betrothal, tasks of the parish priest during betrothal, role of marital court in betrothal-related cases, compensation for renouncement of betrothal. The aim of the article is to familiarise readers with the institution of betrothal as seen from the perspective of Józef Sebastian Pelczar – Jagiellonian University lecturer and subsequently Vice-Chancellor (1882/1883), bishop and – from 2003 – a saint.
