The Family Code of the Philippines sets eighteen (18)
as the age of majority of the Filipinos. However, for
marriages between the ages of 18-21, the written
consent of the parent is required. Without the written
consent, the marriage is voidable. A person who is
between the ages 21-25 is obliged to ask their parents
or guardian for advice and has to make a sworn
statement that advice was sought and given. If there
is no parental advice or if the advice is unfavourable,
the marriage license is issued only after three months
after the publication of the application for the license.
The marriage of persons who are below 18 years of
age is void (not lawful, not legal) and therefore, no
true marriage took place. <Source: Module 3: Sex
