Can any incumbent member of the judiciary solemnize a marriage?
Members of the judiciary are legally granted the explicit authority to formally solemnize marriages. Any incumbent member of the judiciary may effectively and legally solemnize a marriage ceremony. However, this authority is strictly not absolute and definitely has rigid territorial limitations. The judge must solemnize the marriage entirely within their court’s defined jurisdiction, according to Article 7 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 7. Marriage may be solemnized by: (1) Any incumbent member of the judiciary within the court’s jurisdiction;” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
