Can I file for annulment if the name of my wife in the marriage license or marriage certificate is wrong?
No. You cannot have your marriage annulled simply because the name of your spouse in the marriage license or marriage certificate is wrong. Art. 4 of the Family Code states that an irregularity in the formal requisites shall not affect the validity of the marriage but the party responsible for the irregularity shall be civilly, criminally and administratively liable.
