ANGUSTIA LOCI. - It is one of the canonical grounds admitted for the granting of a dispensation from matrimonial impediments (especially from the impediments of consanguinity, affinity, and spiritual or legal cognation). It exists when the village or hamlet in which the bride-to-be has her domicile (not the man) numbers no more than 300 families, that is, approximately 1,500 inhabitants.
Exceptionally it may also occur in more populous places, if the woman's kindred is so extensive that it is not easy for her to find a husband of equal condition outside it. In places of mixed religion, the number of Catholic inhabitants is taken into account.
