Law/Patents / marriage contracts

Latin term or phrase: pro salute animae

The punishment therefore, or annulling, of incestuous or other unscriptural marriages, is the province of the spiritual courts; with act pro salute animae. And, taking it in this civil light, the law treats it as it does all other contracts; allowing it to be good and valid in all cases, where the parties at the time of making it were, in the first place, willing to contract . . .

This is from William Blackston's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1st ed., vol. 1, ch. 15, "Of Husband and Wife."

Gross Impieties. We proceed now to consider some gross impieties and immoralities, which are punished by our municipal law, frequently in concurrence with the ecclesiastical; the spiritual court punishing pro salute animae, for the safety of the soul, while the temporal courts correct more for the sake of example, than for private amendment.

for the salvation of the soul

Explanation:
