Can. 1015.§ 1. A valid marriage of the baptized is called ratified if it has not yet been completed by consummation; ratified and consummated, if between the spouses there has taken place the conjugal act to which by its nature the matrimonial contract is ordered and by which the spouses become one flesh.
§ 2. Once marriage has been celebrated, if the spouses have cohabited together, consummation is presumed until the contrary is proved.
§ 3. A marriage validly celebrated between non-baptized persons is called legitimate.
§ 4. An invalid marriage is called putative if it was celebrated in good faith by at least one party, until each party becomes certain of its nullity.
§ 1. Matrimonium baptizatorum validum dicitur ratum, si nondum consummatione completum est; ratum et consummatum, si inter coniuges locum habuerit coniugalis actus, ad quem natura sua ordinatur contractus matrimonialis et quo coniuges fiunt una caro.
§ 2. Celebrato matrimonio, si coniuges simul cohabitaverint, praesumitur consummatio, donec contrarium probetur.
§ 3. Matrimonium inter non baptizatos valide celebratum, dicitur legitimum.
§ 4. Matrimonium invalidum dicitur putativum, si in bona fide ab una saltem parte celebratum fuerit, donec utraque pars de eiusdem nullitate certa evadat.

Can. 1017.§ 1. A promise of marriage, whether unilateral or bilateral, that is, betrothal, is invalid for both forums unless it has been made through a writing signed by the parties and either by the pastor or local Ordinary, or by at least two witnesses.
§ 2. If both parties or either party does not know how or is unable to write, for validity this is to be noted in the writing itself and another witness is to be added, who with the pastor or local Ordinary or the two witnesses of whom in Sec. 1 signs the writing.
§ 3. But from a promise of marriage, although it is valid and no just cause excuses from fulfilling it, no action is given for seeking the celebration of marriage; nevertheless one is given for reparation of damages, if any is owed.
§ 1. Matrimonii promissio sive unilateralis, sive bilateralis seu sponsalitia, irrita est pro utroque foro, nisi facta fuerit per scripturam subsignatam a partibus et vel a parocho aut loci Ordinario, vel a duobus saltem testibus.
§ 2. Si utraque vel alterutra pars scribere nesciat vel nequeat, ad validitatem id in ipsa scriptura adnotetur et alius testis addatur qui cum parocho aut loci Ordinario vel duobus testibus, de quibus in § 1, scripturam subsignet.
§ 3. At ex matrimonii promissione, licet valida sit nec ulla iusta causa ab eadem implenda excuset, non datur actio ad petendam matrimonii celebrationem; datur tamen ad reparationem damnorum, si qua debeatur.
