ex obiectis

Latin to English Other Religion
6. - Quod attinet vero ad «incapacitates» de quibus sub n. 3 huiusmodi canonis 1095, quaestio videtur difficilior, cum incapacitates huius generis specificentur ! ex obiectis!, id est, ex illa specifica obligatione essentiali quam subiectum adimplere non valet

thank you Luis!

"j" is from Erasmus The 'j' for written Latin was introduced by Erasmus, because he realised that in Latin the 'i' works sometimes as consonant and sometime as vowel. The same happens with 'v'. In fact, you don't find 'j' nor 'v' in ancient Latin inscriptions

Is that in Roman English because in France we had j in our manuals! Ex Hujus try it you will see! What about alea jacta est?

by/according to that which is objected

The sense, to my mind, is that incapacities (in this context, incapacities to get married) of this type are specified/materialized according to that which is objected, which in this case is the "specific obligation inherent (to marriage) that the subject is unable to fulfill".
Obiectis come from "obiecta -orum", which means "objections". It is plural, but in this case is better translated as singular, as occur with many neuter plural Latin nouns. If you prefer to mantain the plural, it would be "according to the objections/the things that are objected".
