Civil Law, 2011 Bar — Question 55

MULTIPLE CHOICE

QR and TS who had a marriage license requested a newly appointed Judge in Manila to marry them on the beach of Boracay. Since the Judge maintained Boracay as his residence, he agreed. The sponsors were all public officials. What is the status of the marriage? A) Valid, since the improper venue is merely an irregularity; all the elements of a valid marriage are present. B) Void, because the couple did not get a local permit for a beach wedding. C) Voidable, because the Judge acted beyond his territorial jurisdiction and is administratively liable for the same. D) Void, because the Judge did not solemnize the marriage within the premises of his court.
