The (SC) has reiterated that hiding oneโ€™s homosexuality from a spouse can be considered fraud and may be used as a ground to annul a marriage.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Antonio T. Kho, Jr., the SCโ€™s Second Division annulled the marriage of a woman whose husband concealed his homosexuality before they got married.

The couple met on social media. On their first date, the woman noticed that the man seemed distant. The man also avoided sitting beside her. When asked about this, the man said he was just shy and lacked confidence.

The two kept a long-distance relationship as the man worked overseas. Notwithstanding this, they got married two years later.

But the man continued to avoid intimacy and often started arguments to avoid his wife. Just two months after the wedding, he returned overseas and stopped communicating with her.

Later, the woman found magazines with half-naked and naked male models among her husbandโ€™s things. When she confronted him, he admitted that he was homosexual. The woman then filed for annulment of their marriage.

The SC ruled that the womanโ€™s consent to the marriage was obtained through fraud, and that the marriage must be annulled on the ground of fraudulent concealment of sexuality, following Article 45(3) in relation to Article 46(4) of the ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ.

Article 45 of the ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ states that a marriage can be annulled if one partyโ€™s consent was obtained through fraud, as long as the couple did not continue living together after discovering the fraud. Article 46 further specifies that hiding oneโ€™s homosexuality or lesbianism from a spouse is considered fraud.

The SC gave credence to the womanโ€™s allegations, noting that the manโ€™s admission and his unexplained silence when his sexuality was being questioned could not be ignored. It found that the husband intentionally hid his homosexuality to persuade the woman to stay and marry him.
