Title I — Marriage

Article 17

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

If the party needing parental advice does not provide it, the civil registrar may still issue the license after 3 months from the application date — the 3-month waiting period is the law's compromise.

Official text — EO 209

The local civil registrar shall prepare a notice which shall contain the full names and residences of the applicants for a marriage license and other data given in the applications. The notice shall be posted for ten consecutive days on a bulletin board outside the office of the local civil registrar located in a conspicous place within the building and accessible to the general public. This notice shall request all persons having knowledge of any impediment to the marriage to advise the local civil registrar thereof. The marriage license shall be issued after the completion of the period of publication. (63a)
