VILLANUEVA and HONORABLE CORAZON JULIANO
AGRAVA, Judge of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations
Court, respondents.
Civil law Marriage Annulment Investigation by fiscal is a
prerequisite to annulment of marriage where defendant has
defaulted.The prohibition against annulling a marriage based
on the stipulation of facts or by confession of judgment or by non
appearance of the defendant stresses the fact that marriage is
more than a mere contract between the parties and for this
reason, when the defendant fails to appear, the law enjoins the
court to direct the prosecuting officer to intervene for the State in
order to preserve the integrity and sanctity of the marital bonds.
