in your content model you have lines like:

<mandatory>true</mandatory>

This mandatory tag has an extra attribute: enforced. If you say

<mandatory enforced="true">true</mandatory>

then you will not be able to check in content that does not have an mandatory field filled. That would mean that you can only check in content via webservices or REST interfaces. Via the web interface you always first check in the content and provide metadata next.

Hope this helps.
