A VINCULO MATRIMONII
- Lat. 'from the bond of marriage'. A marriage may be
dissolved a vinculo, in many states, as in Pennsylvania,
on the ground of canonical disabilities before marriage,
as that one of the parties was legally married to a
person who was then living; impotence, and the like
adultery cruelty and malicious desertion for two years
or more. In New York a sentence of imprisonment for
life is also a ground for a divorce a vinculo. When
the marriage is dissolved a vinculo, the parties may
marry again but when the cause is adultery, the guilty
party cannot marry his or her paramour.
