Marriage dispensations or relationship dispensations to be married are petitions requesting that the couple be absolved from the cannon law of close kinship. These documents include a letter from the groom to the ecclesiastical authority, followed by relationship certifications from credible witnesses, and finally the ecclesiastical decree. There are also some shorter records of dispensations, which include only the names of both parties, their place of origin, sometimes the date of baptism, and the decree. Couples may have needed the relationship dispensation if they wanted to get married and were too closely related. | Marriage dispensations or relationship dispensations to be married are petitions requesting that the couple be absolved from the cannon law of close kinship.
