Article 52. The
1. judgment of annulment or of absolute nullity of the marriage, (decision)
2. the partition and distribution of properties of the spouses, and (dissolution of property)
3. the delivery of the children’s presumptive legitimes (partition of property)
shall be recorded in the appropriate civil registry and registries of property; otherwise, the same shall not affect third persons.
Article 53. Either of the former spouses may marry again after complying with the requirements of the immediately preceding Article; otherwise, the subsequent marriage shall be null and void.
Article 54. Children conceived or born before the judgment of annulment or absolute nullity of the marriage under Article 36 has become final and executory, the children shall be considered legitimate. Children conceived or born of the subsequent marriage under Article 53 shall likewise be legitimate.
Article 52 provides the requirements that the former spouses must comply with before they can remarry, otherwise, the subsequent marriage shall be null and void.
However, children conceived or born of the subsequent marriage under Article 53 shall be legitimate, similar to children conceived or born before the judgment of annulment or absolute nullity of marriage under Article 36 has become final and executory.
These two cases are exempted from the general rule where children conceived or born out of void (ab initio) marriages are declared illegitimate.
