Can a step-parent marry their step-child?
A marriage between a step-parent and a step-child is considered completely contrary to good public policy. Such unions are severely restricted by law to maintain moral and healthy familial order. This specific prohibition is clearly located in Article 38 Family Code of the Philippines. Consequently, any such marriage is deemed entirely void from the beginning and holds no legal weight. “2.
