Summary/Abstract: The title of nullity of marriage in the form of deceptive deception (can. 1098) is an expression of the Church legislator’s concern for the protection of a marriage choice (getting to know the future spouse), as well as for the protection of the marriage itself against injustice. One of the constitutive elements of the canon – apart from deception and error – isthe attribute of the other party (qualitas personae), which can gravely disturb the partnership of conjugal life. The author analyzes the seventeen judgments of the Roman Rota from 2000-2005 issued for deceptio dolosa in the aspect of the quality of the other party. In the first part, he draws attention to the rules of interpretation of rotational jurisprudence concerning thequality of the person in genere, i.e. the very concept of qualitas, the nature of the attribute and the assessment of its significance for the community of conjugal life. On the other hand, in the second part, he discusses the attribute of a person in specie, and thus points to specific qualities that were the subject of evaluation by the judges of the Roman Rota in these seventeen cases (health, child paternity, addiction to superstition, religiosity, abortion, simulated pregnancy).
