Question 12
12. A and B got married in 2018. It was only after the marriage that A discovered B’s
true colors. He refused to look for gainful employment and instead relied on A’s
salary for all his needs. Worse, he would entertain drinking sprees for his barkada
day in and day out in their home. One time, he even asked A to dance for them while
they drank. A consequently filed a petition for declaration of nullity of her marriage
with B on the ground of B’s psychological incapacity. In his answer, B opposed the
petition on the ground that since he was mentally healthy, he cannot be declared
psychologically incapacitated. Is B’s argument in accordance with prevailing
jurisprudence? Reason(s).
