Can a person remarry after their marriage is declared void ab initio?
Yes, a former spouse is legally permitted to marry again after their previous marriage is declared void. However, they must first comply with the strict recording requirements mandated by the preceding article. They must ensure the judgment and property distributions are properly registered in the appropriate civil and property registries. This conditional right to remarry is found in Article 53 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 53. Either of the former spouses may marry again after complying with the requirements of the immediate preceding Article; otherwise, the subsequent marriage shall be null and void.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
