Simulation Flashcards
Define Simulation
A disparity between what is externally manifested and truly willed at the time of expressing matrimonial consent
What does simulation include
“a positive act of the will”
Explain Actual vs Virtual in terms of simulation
An actual positive act, or one that is currently being placed, is one truly being placed at the time of consent
vs
A virtual positive act, or one that is in force, is one that was placed before consent, and though the agent is not actively placing it at consent, it was never revoked and thus retains its effect
Explain manner of manifestation of simulation: explicit or implicit.
Explicit: openly manifested with words at the time of the wedding
vs.
Partial simulation: exclusion of “some essential element or some essential property of marriage”
Explain the distinction between total and partial simulation
Total simulation: exclusion of “marriage itself”
Partial simulation: exclusion of “some essential element or some essential property of marriage”
Explain direct vs indirect
direct: they explain it externally, they say I want to have multiple sexual partners I won’t be faithful.
indirect: they choose something that is not reconcilable with consent.
explain what could be simulated against (5 of them)
- Indissolubility
- unity or fidelity
- children
- good of spouses
- sacramental dignity.
Explain “Hypothetical” simulation
This is a real simulation.
I will depart from this marriage if a certain thing happens in the marriage.
simulation presupposes what?
Ill will.
What is the subordination of grounds?
Basically, if one ground is negative, than is another ground positive.
For example: the grounds are on simulation of some type, but if negative 1095.2
What is the direct proof of simulation?
Confession of the simulator.
Judicial confession vs extrajudicial confession
Judicial confession: declared before the Judge/Auditor in the judicial examination or in an authentic written statement.
Extrajudicial confession: a confession of simulation, reported by a trustworthy witness of it, as it was stated at a non-suspect time (in tempore non suspecto)
what is in tempore non suspecto?
basically at a non suspect time.
what has more value a judicial confession or extrajudicial confession? Why?
extrajudicial because it is from a non-suspect time, it came from the past instead of the present.
Facta eloquentiora quam verba
Facts are more eloquent than words.
What is causa simulandi?
The cause for simulation
what is the causa contrahendi
the reason for getting married.
What are indirect proofs of simulation?
Basically the causa simulandi and the causa contrahendi
Grave and proportionate
Antecedent, concomitant, and subsequent circumstances that render simulation probable.
