    The document amends the Family Code of the Philippines by nullifying the prescriptive period for actions or defenses grounded on psychological incapacity. It modifies Article 39 of the Family Code to state that actions or defenses for declaring a marriage absolutely null shall not prescribe or be subject to a statute of limitations. This aims to allow cases questioning the validity of a marriage on the basis of psychological incapacity to be brought before the courts without restriction of time periods.
