Affiant
“Any contracting party between the ages of TWENTY ONE (21) and TWENTY
FIVE (25) shall be obliged to as their PARENTS or guardian upon intended marriage.
If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not
be issued till after three (3) months following the completion of the publication of the
application therefor. x x x”
This is our basis why we ask contracting parties who ARE STILL 25 years of age
at the time of their application of marriage in your good office AND request for
marriage solemnization in the RTC of their Parental Consent. The law is perfectly
CLEAR and it demands full compliance.
Article 16 of the Family Code, more particularly the last sentence of said article
provides administrative sanctions to both ISSUING OFFICER and SOLEMNIZING
OFFICER who fails to observe both articles.
Another error which the court always find is that your good office often issues
Marriage Licenses WITHIN 10 days from receipt which is still covered by the 10 day
posting as required by law.
Again, the Family Code provides a 10 days posting pursuant to Article 17 of the
Family Code. The said article requires that a Marriage License SHALL be issued
AFTER (not within the period) the completion of the period of the publication.
