Validity of Marriage
Strange as it may seem, courts in general have a tendency to treat marriage and its validity as an all-purpose concept, may we say omnific, vis-à-vis correlative issues such as adoption, legitimacy and rights of succession, testate or intestate, of a surviving spouse and children born of such marriage. Marriage may be good for the purpose of one issue and yet invalid for the purpose of another; as Professor Willis L.M. Reese says. The same attitude they bring to bear in respect of adoption. They blindly follow the opinion of authoritative law givers, ignoring the rules of conflict of laws.
