As a consequence of the threat, Ricky married Princess. Can the marriage be annulled on the ground of intimidation under Article 45 of the Family Code? Choose the best answer. A) Yes, because without the threat, Ricky would not have married Princess. B) Yes, because the threat to enforce the claim of Princess vitiates the consent of Ricky in contracting the marriage. C) No, because the threat made by Marforth is just and legal. D) No, because Marforth is not a party to the contract of marriage between Princess and Ricky.
