consent of parents

Greetings!

I am 28 years of age. My girlfriend is 22 years old.

Me and my girlfriend planned to get married but her parents don't give us the consent to do it. But, we still want to pursue it. and we are planning to do it on civil rights ceremony.

According to what i have read and research she still need the consent of her parents for the marriage license.

QUESTION:
1. Is there a way that we can still apply for marriage license even though her parents don't give us the consent?
2. It will be valid if we forged the signature of her parents?
3. What if we declare that her parents was on far province or abroad?


Thank you!

yes, you can apply for marriage license even without parental advice. it will just be delayed release by 30 days.

don't do anything illegal.

will the local civil registry will still allow us to pass it? or do we need to provide or claim a provision on law regarding this?

just apply. just like atty. states the only problem is the prolonged release time. Do not forged anything.

Atty. can you further explain this article which I will quote or if possible please explain in tagalog.. ty

Art. 15. Any contracting party between the age of twenty-one and twenty-five shall be obliged to ask their parents or guardian for advice upon the intended marriage. If they do not obtain such advice, or if it be unfavorable, the marriage license shall not be issued till after three months following the completion of the publication of the application therefor. A sworn statement by the contracting parties to the effect that such advice has been sought, together with the written advice given, if any, shall be attached to the application for marriage license. Should the parents or guardian refuse to give any advice, this fact shall be stated in the sworn statement.
