How does psychological incapacity affect a marriage?
Psychological incapacity is a serious condition that fundamentally alters the validity of a marital union. If a party is psychologically incapacitated to comply with essential marital obligations at the time of celebration, the marriage is void. This vital legal concept is clearly articulated in Article 36 Family Code of the Philippines. Such marriages are treated as if they never legally existed due to the inherent incapacity. “Art. 36. A marriage contracted by any party who, at the time of the celebration, was psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage, shall likewise be void even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its solemnization.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
