We must consider next the impediment of affinity. Under this head there are eleven points of inquiry:

A2 Whether it remains after the death of husband or wife?

A3 Whether it is caused through unlawful intercourse?

A4 Whether it arises from a betrothal?

A5 Whether affinity is caused through affinity?

A6 Whether affinity is an impediment to marriage?

A7 Whether affinity in itself admits of degrees?

A8 Whether its degrees extend as far as the degrees of consanguinity?

A9 Whether marriages of persons related to one another by consanguinity or affinity should always be dissolved by divorce?

A10 Whether the process for the dissolution of like marriages should always be by way of accusation?

A11 Whether witnesses should be called in such a case?
