ANNULMENT 101:  Philippine Annulment Law Made Easy

 

LESSON III: ISSUES ABOUT MARRIAGE LICENSE

 

Q. My girlfriend and I are planning to get married this June. But we have been living together as husband and wife for almost six (6) years now. Both of us are still single. I have heard that we do not need to apply for a marriage license. Is this correct?

GTALAW: Yes, you are correct. No license shall be necessary for the marriage of a man and a woman who have lived together as husband and wife for at least five years and without any legal impediment to marry each other. But you and your girlfriend are required to execute an affidavit stating the fact of your situation and submit it to the local civil registrar.

Q. I already had a falling out with my husband. Our marriage contract so states that we were issued a marriage license. I know for a fact that we did not apply for a marriage license. I also verified the marriage license number at the Local Civil Registrar of Manila if it was issued to us. But the local civil registrar of Manila told me that there is no such thing. Can I file Petition to declare my marriage void on this ground alone?

GTALAW: Yes, lack or absence of a marriage license is ground to declare the marriage void. You can request the Local Civil Registrar of Manila for the issuance of a Certification that you have not been issued a marriage license. You will need this document in Court as your evidence.
