    1) Lilia Oliva Wiegel was petitioning to nullify her marriage to Karl Heinz Wiegel, who had filed for nullity on the basis that Lilia was still married to her first husband Eduardo Maxion. 2) Lilia admitted to the prior marriage but claimed it was null and void because she and Eduardo had been forced into it. 3) The court ruled that even if the first marriage was entered under duress, it would be voidable rather than void, as no annulment had occurred. Therefore, Lilia's marriage to Karl was void since she was still validly married to Eduardo at the time.

    CASE DIGEST: WIEGEL V. SEMPIO-DIY

    Published by paul on October 13, 2013 | Leave a response

    LILIA OLIVA WIEGEL, petitioner, vs. THE HONORABLE ALICIA V.


    SEMPIO-DIY and KARL HEINZ WIEGEL, respondents.
    G.R. No. L-53703 August 19, 1986

    Facts:

    Karl Heinz Wiegel before the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court of
    Caloocan City filed for the declaration of nullity of his marriage with Lilia
    Oliva Wiegel on the ground of Lilia’s previously existing marriage to
    one Eduardo A. Maxion. Lilia, while admitting the existence of the said prior
    subsisting marriage claimed that the said marriage was null and void as she
    and first husband Eduardo Maxion was forced to enter the said marital union.
    In the pre-trial that ensued, the issue agreed upon by both parties was the
    status of the first marriage (whether the said prior marriage is void or merely
    voidable). Lilia contested the validity of the pre trial order asking for
    respondent court for an opportunity to present evidence.

    Issue:

    Whether or not there is a need for Lilia Wiegel to prove that her first
    marriage was vitiated by fore.

    Ruling:

    There is no need for petitioner to prove that her first marriage was vitiated by
    force committed against both parties because assuming this to be so, the
    marriage will not be void but merely voidable. Since no annulment has yet
    been made, it is clear that when she married respondent she was still validly
    married to her first husband, consequently, her marriage to respondent is
    void.
