sa aking nalalaman, ang civil nga ang ipinapa-annul.. wala ka naman naririnig na nagpapa-annul sa church diba?..and thats why sa court ka nagpapa-annul kasi you want the wedding contract to be deemed null and void.

a church wedding is a combination of a religious (sacrament of matrimony)and a legal (where you sign the wedding contract with the sponsors as witnesses) joining of the husband and wife. Now, kaya nga may wedding banns published sa parish ng couple so that the public may know kung sinong ikakasal at kung may problem man (ie kasal sa iba) eh pwedeng ipatigil ang kasal.
exactly.... wedding is a civil contract between two parties (husband and wife) unfortunately, this contract has no provision for "pretermination" after some period of time. The reason behind is that the state wants to "as much as possible" make the two person stay together for life as tp preserve its' sanctity. Kaya nga tayo tinatanong sa altar "ikaw ba ay nagpunta dito ng walang pag-aalinlangan at sa iyong sariling pag-kukusa?" I think after annulment, di pa rin ata pwede magpakasal ulit...its in divorce that you can re-marry.. kaso wala tayo nyan sa Pinas.... any lawyers here for a legal opinion?
