Religion / canon law

Italian term or phrase: dover essere

It is used as a noun. This comes in a book on the essence of marriage in the thought of a canonist.

Examples:

"Quindi, l’ordine formale del dover essere del matrimonio [01]in facto esse [02]non viene pienamente fondato nella sua stessa essenza, ma trova giustificazione solo attraverso le categorie tecnico-giuridiche dell’atto negoziale."

"Il dover essere non si comprende solo come un imperativo alla realizzazione di atti procreativi come sembra dedursi da una sua semplice definizione, ma l’ordinazione giuridica essenziale ha questi caratteri di causa finale e di ragione d’ordinazione, che terminano per confluire su tutta la realtà matrimoniale"

It seems to be "the way marriage should be". I'm translating it for now as the 'must-be' with quotation marks.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Peter
