Facts: Mira, 20, marries Ken, 25, without Mira's parental consent. After 9 months, Mira files for annulment on the ground that she was below 21 at the time of celebration and lacked parental consent. The parents sign a post‑marital consent letter after the ceremony, but such consent does not retroactively validate the marriage. (a) Identify the doctrine governing voidable marriages and the controlling rule that distinguishes voidable marriages from void ab initio marriages. (b) Based on the facts, is the marriage voidable? What is the available remedy and who may file a petition for annulment under the rule? (c) If the court grants the annulment, what are the principal effects on the spouses’ civil status and their property relations?

Choose the Best Answer

Void ab initio marriages; if a party is below 18 at celebration, the marriage is void from the start and cannot be ratified; the remedy is declaration of nullity that may be sought by the state or by the parties. Only the party who lacked parental consent may file for annulment. Voidable marriages under the Family Code; a voidable marriage is valid until annulled, and lack of parental consent makes the marriage voidable, not void ab initio; post‑marital parental consent cannot retroactively validate; the remedy is annulment; petition may be filed by either spouse. Voidable marriages automatically end upon reaching majority without court action.
