Marcos v.

Marcos

FACTS: Petitioner Brenda Marcos and Respondent Wilson Marcos were married twice and had five
children. After the downfall of President Marcos, the respondent left the military service in1987.
Consequently, due to the respondent’s failure to engage in any gainful employment, they would often
quarrel and the respondent would hit and beat the petitioner. As a result, in 1992they were already
living separately. Thus, petitioner filed for annulment of marriage assailing Art. 36 of the Family Code.
The court a quo found the respondent to be psychologically incapacitated to perform his marital
obligations. However, the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the RTC because psychological
incapacity had not been established by the totality of the evidence presented.
