The banns of marriage, commonly known simply as the"banns"

The purpose of banns is to enable anyone to raise any canonical or civil legalimpediments to the marriage, so as to prevent marriages that are invalid. Impediments vary between legal jurisdictions, but would normally include a pre-existing marriage that has been neither dissolved nor annulled, a vow of  celibacy, lack of consent, or the couple's being related within the prohibited degrees of kinship.
