Is it okay to stay in a bad marriage or wrong?

But let’s say he was the typical faithful catholic when married but changed? I’m sure it happens, and in that case what happens?

Questionnaires and interviews with both parties (unless the respondent cannot be found or chooses not to participate) and their witnesses (parents, siblings, relatives, friends, etc) to get a sense of both the petitioner and respondent. Usually, the possible impediments are not limited to a singular spouse. If necessary, a psychological evaluation of one or both parties.

If both tell the truth and they met the conditions for a valid marriage at the beginning then they are deemed to be validly married. The Tribunal can’t change that.

Let me give you another scenario. A couple is involved in an accident during their honeymoon and the husband is rendered permanently incapable of having sex. They’ve consummated their marriage already. If they met all the requirements for validity at the time of the marriage, again, nothing the Tribunal can do.

From the title and content of the OP’s posts, it appears that her primary question is must a wife “stick it out” if married to an abusive or cheating husband and she was correctly told no. In answer to her secondary question asking if an annulment (declaration of nullity) would be possible, again she was correctly informed that this would have to be determined by a marriage tribunal. Just to clarify though, a marriage tribunal would not be involved in answering the question about “sticking it out.”
