Abstract

A person affected by the Peter Pan syndrome can do very well in the professional life by climbing up the career ladder, being a well-liked person, and thus becoming a seemingly good husband or wife. However, when fulfilling merely the marital obligations that are legally insignificant, he or she will still be unable to conclude a valid marriage. Essential marital obligations include those that determine the implementation of bonum prolis and bonum coniugum. A Peter Pan is not able to build a marital community, strive for the good of the offspring, make sacrifices or take material responsibility for the established family. Such a person does not treat marriage as a permanent and undying covenant, nor is able to face and fulfill important marital duties because its maturity is not adequate, despite being of proper age. While living carefree, it is Peter Pan who needs care and full acceptance of another person, yet with no demands.
