Title I — Marriage
Article 25
ELI5— what this means for you
Marriages in remote areas where no civil registrar or judge is reachable (e.g., far-flung barangays) can also be solemnized without a license. The solemnizing officer must certify why a license was impossible to obtain.
Official text — EO 209
The local civil registrar concerned shall enter all applications for marriage licenses filed with him in a registry book strictly in the order in which the same are received. He shall record in said book the names of the applicants, the date on which the marriage license was issued, and such other data as may be necessary. (n)
