Inabsuwelto ng ang isang babae sa kasong ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ. Ayon sa Korte, maaaring gamiting depensa ang naunang kasal na walang bisa na mula pa sa simula (๐˜ท๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ), kahit wala pang naunang desisyon ng hukuman na nagpapawalang-bisa rito.

Sa isang Desisyong isinulat ni Kasangguning Mahistrado Alfredo Benjamin S. Caguioa, binaligtad ng Ikatlong Dibisyon ng Korte Suprema ang mga naunang desisyon ng Regional Trial Court (RTC) ng Pampanga at Court of Appeals (CA) na humatol kay Ma. Fe Imelda Lapira (Lapira) na nagkasala sa ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ.

Kinasuhan si Lapira ng ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ sa ilalim ng Artikulo 349 ng Revised Penal Code dahil sa pagpapakasal niya kay Jimmy Fariscal habang kasal pa siya kay Takahiko Sato, batay sa ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ na inisyu ng Office of the Civil Registrar General.

Sa paglilitis, iginiit ni Lapira na walang bisa ang kanyang kasal kay Sato dahil walang isinagawang seremonya at walang naisyung ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฆโ€”mga rekisitong kinakailangan para magkaroon ng bisa ang kasal. Kinumpirma rin ng Local Civil Registrar na walang rekord ng aplikasyon para sa ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ nina Lapira at Sato.

Sa pag-absuwelto kay Lapira, ginamit ng Korte Suprema ang naging pasya nito sa kasong Pulido v. People noong 2021. Ayon sa naturang desisyon, maaaring direktang igiit ng isang akusado sa kasong ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ na walang bisa ang nauna nitong kasal bilang depensa, kahit wala pang naunang deklarasyon mula sa hukuman na nagpapawalang-bisa rito.

Ipinaliwanag ng Korte Suprema na isa sa mahahalagang elemento ng ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ang pagkakaroon ng may bisa na naunang kasal. Kung ang unang kasal ay walang bisa na mula pa sa simula, nangangahulugang wala ang naturang elemento ng ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜บ.

Sa kasong ito, sapat na patunay ang sertipikasyong inilabas ng Local Civil Registrar na walang ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ na naisyu kina Lapira at Sato. Dahil dito, napabulaanan ang pagpapalagay o ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ na wasto ang marriage certificate.
