Twentieth and 21st century civilisation poses increasingly new problems which have to be faced by human beings and which may have a considerable impact on conscious, voluntary and full expression and implementation of obligations ensuing from marital consent. This paper describes AIDS from a medical standpoint and its impact on ability to assume the essential obligations of marriage and, in consequence, matrimonial consent. Conclusions which can be drawn on the basis
of the gathered material indicate that marriage can be invalidated only when the disease has progressed so far that it has a destructive impact on the consensus. Thus, only HI V carriers who have developed AIDS , because of the vast array of conditions always accompanying the disease, are incapable of entering into a valid marriage.
