Alfonso X’s law equated religious disbelief with spiritual fornication justifying annulment.

Evidence

52. “Contumelia creatoris, que quiere tanto decir como denuesto de Dios et de nuestra fe, es manera de espiritual fornicacion, por que podrie acaescer que serie fecho divorcio entre algunos que estodiesen casados” (Siete partidas, 4:10:3). The legal point here is to equate refusal to see Christian truth with fornication, since fornication is traditionally considered legitimate grounds for annulment of a marriage. — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 1823
