Background

A claimant filed a case against the defendants before the court of personal affairs requesting the dismissal of a marriage certificate dated 22/07/1990. The claimant said that the first defendant claimed that he got married to her although the certificate and his signature were fabricated.

The court dismissed the case.

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The claimant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation and had violated the right of defence because the marriage certificate did not meet the legal requirements including the registration in the marriage record and approval by a priest.
