(please copy/paste link as I am not allowed to post links yet!)

On the second page of the link above there is the following quote - can anyone elaborate on why the marriage wasn't in good faith? I can't quite grasp why!!

Third, "believing in good faith that the solemnizing officer had authority to solemnize his marriage with Kris..."

According to the lawyer, James tried to prove this, but the court decided otherwise, because he failed to consider the person solemnizing their marriage.

Atty. Lapuz said, "If you're Roman Catholic and you have a lady minister solemnizing your marriage, shouldn't you be asking, 'Are you authorized [to marry us] because we're Catholics?'

"Marriage is a sacred institution and thus, you should choose the persons involved in the ceremony."

Kris is just unfortunate with men! Too many of them don't know how to appreciate how lucky they are to be with her!

Sorry, I don't know much about her love life - or indeed Kris...

I am however interested in why she succeeded in showing that both parties were not in good faith because of the religion element!

Very simple.. they simple say that they are not aware that the solemnizing officer is not authorized to do the ceremony. Patay malisya na kunwari hindi nila alam na dapat e sa simbahang katoliko sila nagpakasal. But if I am the judge I will question them bakit sa Holy Sacrament International Church sila nagpakasal? Ganong ang family ni Kristeta ay hardline Catholic lalo pa at buhay pa si Tita Cory at that time. That only means either or both them truly believes that the solemnizing officer is legit and had the power to do the ceremony. And if that’s the case, the marriage is valid.

Well, if you have millions and your big bro holds the most powerful position in the country, it is possible. and they will wait years para sa decision.
