Summary/Abstract: The presented article interprets Can. 1137 CIC 17 and Can. 1160 CIC regarding convalidation of marriage due to a lack of canonical form. This problem was looked at from two perspectives– the lack of form and defect of form. It has been shown that in the case of lack of form, a marriage which is null must be contracted anew in accordance with Can. 1160 CIC in order to become valid ;whereas, in the case of a defect of form, unless the principle codified in Can. 144 of the CIC stating that “the Church completes the power of government” (Ecclesia supplet potestatem) could be used,simple convalidation results in the mariage being valid, provided the marriage was not celebrated in public. Keywords: canonical marriage, simple convalidation, lack of canonical form, defect of canonical form
