How does a defect in any of the essential requisites affect the marriage?
A defect in the essential requisites does not immediately make the marriage completely void. Instead, a defect in any of the essential requisites shall simply render the marriage voidable. This strictly means the marriage remains legally valid until it is formally annulled by a competent court. The specific legal rules regarding such voidable marriages are further governed by Article 4 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 4. […] A defect in any of the essential requisites shall render the marriage voidable as provided in Article 45.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
