This refers to "marriages exempt from the license requirement" which provide under Art. 27 of the Family Code...says: In case either or both of the contracting parties are at the point of death, the marriage maybe solemnized without the necessity of marriage license and shall remain valid even if the ailing party subsequently survives.
Articulo Mortis
The marriage referred to in this Article is the marriage in articulo mortis; i.e., or both of the contracting parties are dying or at the point of death. In such case, there is no need for marriage license because obviously, the dying party would already be dead by the time the license is issued.
What happens if the parties are survives from the point of death?
Under Art. 72 of the civil code, which is the source of the article. Provides that the marriage remains valid even if the ailing or dying party survives or does not dies.
"Corinthian 11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man."
I see.
Interesting why people would want to marry at the point of death...
I suppose it has something to do with properties... can't think of anything else right now.
