DE GRACIA
FACTS:
1. Rodolfo and Natividad were married at the Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer in Salug, Zamboanga del Norte.
2.
Psychological incapacity, as a ground to nullify a marriage under Article 36 of the Family Code, should
refer to no less than a mental not merely physical incapacity that causes a party to be truly
incognitive of the basic marital covenants that concomitantly must be assumed and discharged by the
grave, deeplyrooted, and incurable within the parameters of psychological incapacity jurisprudence.
Dr. Zalsos failed to identify in her report the root cause of Natividads condition and to show that it
existed at the time of the parties marriage. Neither was the gravity or seriousness of Natividads
behavior in relation to her failure to perform the essential marital obligations sufficiently described in Dr.
Zalsoss report.
