FACTS: In 1988, Orly
married Lilia. In 1992, Orly filed an annulment case of their marriage on the
ground that he was forced to marry Lilia becaue he received phone calls from a
certain Ka Celso, a member of NPA, who threatened him to be killed if he won’t
marry Lilia. He also claimed that he was defrauded by Lilia by making him
believe that he was pregnant. Lilia denied these allegations, claiming Orly
freely cohabitated with her and showed 14 letters as proof of Orly’s affection
and care towards her.
ISSUE: Whether or not
there really was fraud in obtaining Orly’s consent to marry Lilia
HELD: No. It is obvious
that Orly seeks to annul his marriage because of a pending bigamy case filed by
Lilia. Also, Orly’s contentions were not concretely established, taki8ng in
consideration that he is a security guard who is knowledgeable of self-defense.
His allegations that he never had an erection during their sexual intercourse
is a lie. Also, it took him four years to file an action, which only supports
Lilia’s contention that he freely cohabitated with her.
