Causa XXVIII

GRATIAN. A certain unbeliever, placed in marriage, was converted to the faith, but his wife departed from him out of hatred for the Christian faith. He took a certain faithful woman as his wife, and after her death he became a cleric. At length, by the merit of his life and learning, he is elected as a bishop. (Question I.) Here it is first asked whether marriage exists between unbelievers. (Question II.) Second, whether it is lawful for this man to marry another while the first is living. (Question III.) Third, whether one who had one wife before baptism and another after baptism is to be regarded as a bigamist.
