Civil Law, 2020 Bar — Question IV

ESSAY

Two college sweethearts were married inside a Roman Catholic church in the Philippines with a Supreme Court Justice serving as solemnizing officer. A few years following the ceremony, one of the two filed an action for the declaration of nullity of marriage on the ground that the marriage was void ab initio because it was solemnized inside a Roman Catholic church by a Supreme Court Justice, and not by a Roman Catholic priest. Is the position legally tenable? Explain briefly.
