Civil Law, 2011 Bar — Question 95

MULTIPLE CHOICE

Conrad and Linda, both 20 years old, applied for a marriage license, making it appear that they were over 25. They married without their parents' knowledge before an unsuspecting judge. After the couple has been in cohabitation for 6 years, Linda's parents filed an action to annul the marriage on ground of lack of parental consent. Will the case prosper? A) No, since only the couple can question the validity of their marriage after they became 21 of age; their cohabitation also convalidated the marriage. B) No, since Linda's parents made no allegations that earnest efforts have been made to come to a compromise with Conrad and Linda and which efforts failed. C) Yes, since the marriage is voidable, the couple being below 21 years of age when they married. D) Yes, since Linda's parents never gave their consent to the marriage.
