A serious lack of evaluative discernment, as regards essential marital rights and obligations arises from a serious disruption of a cognitive, critical, evaluative, consideration act or an act regarding choice – as regards essential marital rights and obligations. As far as intellectual acts are concerned, a serious lack of evaluative discernment results in dysfunctions of cognitive and critical acts, that is evaluative ones, which prevent from correct cognition and proper evaluation of essential marital rights and obligations; as regards an act of will, its lack results from dysfunction of volitional act, which destruct freedom of choice. In proving a serious lack of evaluative discernment as far as essential marital rights and obligations are concerned, all evidence determined in CIC and Dignitas connubii Instruction are used, and the Rota decrees give the greatest attention to direct evidence, which are evidence of experts.
On the basis of analysis of 20 sentencees of the Roma Rota of 2005 the author presents an issue of discretio iudicii, which is considered a prerequisite element of marital consensus, being a human act, assuming both an act of mind and will, thus, ability to understand, evaluate and choose freely. He also discusses essential elements of this discernment (sufficient intellectual recognition of the subject of marital consensus; sufficient critical evaluation as regards marriage as such, as well as reasons of contracting marriage and reasons of contracting marriage with a particular person; sufficient inner freedom in view of the said reasons and overcoming inner impulses). Next, he focuses on an issue of evaluative discernment (essential marital rights and obligations) and serious lack of this discernment.
