What must contracting parties between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-five seek before marriage?
Individuals strictly aged twenty-one to twenty-five are completely no longer required to get formal parental consent, but they absolutely must seek parental advice. Any designated contracting party specifically between the precise age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be strictly obliged to explicitly ask their parents for advice. If they unfortunately do completely not obtain such advice, or if it legally be unfavorable, the marriage license shall absolutely not be issued till after three months. This strictly structured delay rule is solidly established in Article 16 Family Code of the Philippines. “Art. 16. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor.” 31-Jul-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
