What are the essential requisites for a valid marriage?
For a marriage to be considered legally valid, certain essential requisites must inevitably be present. First, there must be the legal capacity of the contracting parties, who must explicitly be a male and a female. Second, there must be consent freely given by the contracting parties. This essential consent must be formally given in the presence of the solemnizing officer, as mandated by Article 2 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 2. No marriage shall be valid, unless these essential requisites are present: (1) Legal capacity of the contracting parties who must be a male and a female; and (2) Consent freely given in the presence of the solemnizing officer.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
