Can a person marry their half-sibling?
The law strictly forbids marriages between brothers and sisters under any circumstances to preserve morality. This restriction applies equally whether the siblings share both parents or just one common parent. This strict rule against incestuous marriages is codified in Article 37 Family Code of the Philippines. Thus, a marriage to a half-sibling is considered entirely void from the beginning. “2. Between brothers and sisters, whether of the full- or half-blood.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
