1PEdro, son of N. and N., and Maria, daughter of N. and N., have arranged to be married. If you know whether they be related within the second degree (which is dispensed in the third and fourth) by way of consanguinity or affinity, or whether they have spiritual kinship, or whether they be married to others and the consorts are alive though far away, or whether they have arranged with others: advise me, because if you know this and do not tell me, you sin mortally, and will be the cause of my error, and after the marriage we would have to separate them. ✠ This alone is enough during the second or third time reading what is written below.
2 In case you do not know any relations that may impede the matrimony, or so that you do not forget, I say that:
3 No Christian may be married to his Mother, nor Grandmother. Daughter, nor Granddaughter. Sister, nor Niece. Aunt, nor Cousin. (These are the impediments that we call consanguinity.)
