ELI5— what this means for you

The rules on ordinary donations (from the Civil Code) apply to donations propter nuptias, except for the rules on form — prenuptial gifts do not need to follow the same formalities as regular donations if they are in the marriage settlement.

Official text — EO 209

A donation by reason of marriage may be revoked by the donor in the following cases:

(1) If the marriage is not celebrated or judicially declared void ab initio except donations made in the marriage settlements, which shall be governed by Article 81;

(2) When the marriage takes place without the consent of the parents or guardian, as required by law;

(3) When the marriage is annulled, and the donee acted in bad faith;

(4) Upon legal separation, the donee being the guilty spouse;

(5) If it is with a resolutory condition and the condition is complied with;

(6) When the donee has committed an act of ingratitude as specified by the provisions of the Civil Code on donations in general. (132a)
