The marriage is legal. I am assuming that the "reverend" is duly authorized by his religious sect to solemnize marriage hence under the Family Code, he would have authority to solemnize marriage (see Art. 7[2] of the Family Code), thus even if he wasn't a judge, the marriage would still be valid.

 

In fact, even assuming that he had no authority to perform marriages, since your friend thought the guy who performed the marriage was authorized to do so, the marriage would still be valid, as provided for by Article 35(2) of the Family Code.

 

Art. 35. The following marriages shall be void from the beginning:

(2) Those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages UNLESS SUCH MARRIAGES WERE CONTRACTED WITH EITHER OR BOTH PARTIES BELIEVING IN GOOD FAITH THAT THE SOLEMNIZING OFFICER HAD THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO SO;

 

 

Thanks for the info. I really need to help my friend because all her friends were telling her that her marriage is fake due to the reverend thinggy.

 

But after reading further, some threads mentioned about lack of license. She mentioned not seeing/issued any licenses. She also says that their marriage contract shows that her husbands address was not his address and they put San Juan instead and the venue of the ceremony was says in groom's house instead of Manila City Hall. She went to NSO to verify and got a no record so she went to Manila cityhall and the registry told her that her record was sent to NSO and will be available next month.

 

Is this kind of marriage void? Even if it goes to NSO?

Master if I remember right, this is an old case arising out of the 1982 BAR controversy when then Justice Vicente Ericta was reported to have personally approached the bar chairman to inquire whether his (Ericta's) son passed the bar, raising suspicion he exerted pressure on the chairman.

I don't know if there was a disbarment case that arose out of the 1982 bar scandal. What I remember is that 12 of the 14 sitting SC justices resigned because of that, including the SC chief.

 

I don't know if this would help, but in 1972,an administrative case (not disbarment though) was filed against then Judge Vicente Ericta. Please follow the link.
