What happens if a spouse remarries without recording the annulment judgment?
Remarrying without complying with the strict recording requirements leads to severe legal repercussions. The law dictates that any subsequent marriage contracted under these non-compliant circumstances shall be completely null and void. This prevents individuals from bypassing the necessary property and civil registry updates before moving on. This strict nullity rule is mandated by Article 53 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 53. Either of the former spouses may marry again after complying with the requirements of the immediate preceding Article; otherwise, the subsequent marriage shall be null and void.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
