There are cases that some persons get marriage twice due to some reason. In this particular cases; the law provide the requirements to be completed before the contracting parties to get marriage.
Under Art. 13., of the code. In case either of the contracting parties has been previously married, the applicant shall be required to furnish, instead of the birth or baptismal certificate in the last preceding article, the death certificate of the deceased spouse or judicial decree of the absolute divorce, or the judicial decree of annulment or declaration of nullity of his or her previous marriage. In case the death certificate cannot be secured, the party shall make an affidavit setting forth this circumstances and his or her actual civil status and the name and date of death of the deceased spouse
If the death certificate of one's spouse cannot be presented. The parties can execute an affidavit stating the facts of the death of his or her spouse.
If the applicant has had a marriage that had been annulled or declared null and void. He or she must present the judicial decision of the court.
Ok.
The following are just my notes. (I turned your comments section into my notebook =P )
From this article, it shows that one can marry again only if: (a) the spouse died, (b) the previous marriage has been annulled, etc - divorce, annulment, declaration of nullity.
Yup! This is the purpose of this article. But take note the decision of the court must first validate at the NSO Sta. Mesa office. Presenting the court decision and the finality report of the local civil registrar...before any parties to contract marriage again.
If not complying this rule of the NSO. They cannot furnish the requirement provided by law
