The pastoral purpose of a vetitum is to help an individual and/or a couple address the underlying problems that led to the breakdown of a former marriage union. An individual with a Vetitum is restricted from entering into another Church marriage until the matter identified has been adequately dealt with (e.g. a rehabilitation program for substance-abuse). If the matter is deemed adequately addressed, the Vetitum can be lifted by the Tribunal. Monitum (Latin; serious recommendation or warning): it is not an order, as in a Vetitum. As part of the Declaration of Nullity, the Tribunal may note, by serious recommendation or warning, that either or both parties give careful attention to various issues which the Tribunal found in the course of investigating the earlier attempt at marriage. A monitum does not prevent one from contracting marriage in the Church, but rather serves as a cautionary reminder that some things in a person's history or behavior cause concern in regard to marriage (e.g. a caution against impulsively entering into marriage). 615C- Supplemental Marriage Information 2018/03 Page 4 of 4 .
