Question 4
4. A, a member of a popular boy band in the Philippines, got his girlfriend, B, pregnant.
A and B got married in Hong Kong where the legal age to get married was at least
15 years old. At the time of their marriage, A and B were 17 and 16 years old,
respectively, and were both Filipino citizens. Subsequently, A continued with his
career while B hid her pregnancy in the United States of America. She only returned
to the Philippines after she gave birth to their son. By then though, B was already
tired of being A’s deep dark secret. She thus filed a petition for declaration of nullity
of marriage on the ground that her marriage with A is void. Will the petition
prosper? Reason(s).
