Under Art. 11 of the family code. Each of the contracting parties shall file separately a sworn application for such license with the proper local civil registrar which specify the following:
1. Full name of the contracting party;
2. Birth place;
3. Age and date of birth;
4. Civil status;
5. If the previously married, how, when and where the previous marriage was dissolved or annuled;
6. Present residence and citizenship;
7. Degree of relationship of the contracting parties
8. Full name, residence and citizenship of the Father;
9. Full name, residence and citizenship of the Mother; and
10. Full name, residence and citizenship of the guardian or person having charge, in case the contracting party has neither father not mother and is under the age of twenty-one years.
The application for marriage license is required to be under oath so that the applicants would tell the truth in their applications. If they lie regarding any detail therein, they will be committing perjury as punishable by law.
Any party who give wrong information would civilly, criminally, and administratively liable.
If the local civil registrar, knowing the falsity of the information in the applications, still issues the license he/she shall be civilly, criminally, and administratively liable, but marriage solemnized pursuant to said license will still valid.
The civil registrar should be careful on this matter even if he/she require to investigate the said application.
Ok.
The following are just my notes... =P
As you said, marriage solemnized pursuant to said license will still be valid because:
- here (http://pinaydhabroad.blogspot.com/2011/06/marriage-void-ab-initio-and-voidable.html) it says an irregularity in the formal requisites shall not affect the validity of the marriage
- and the marriage license is a formal requisite (http://pinaydhabroad.blogspot.com/2011/06/formal-requisite-of-marriage.html)
Thanks! =)
