Hi Sir/madarm,

I was charged of bigamy by my first wife when she learned about my second marriage after our separation. After the court proceeding, my second wife was acquited. I would like to ask if there is a possibility that the case can be dismiss if my first wife decided to withdraw her case of bigamy against me and my second marriage was already declared by the court as nulled and void.

Thanks

Hi,


The court declaration that your second marriage is null and void will not result in the dismissal of the bigamy case. Depending on what stage the case is at, the withdrawal of your first wife from the case may or may not result in the dismissal of the case against you. For more information, discuss this matter with your lawyer.

Regards,

Atty. Katrina

Thanks for the info Atty Katrina.

But one thing I'd liked to clarify, I'm kind of confuse. how come the case will still be active nor will not bedismiss if the petitioner will submit her intention or affidavit withdrawing her case filed?

Thanks

The case will not be dismissed if submitted na lahat ng evidence (documentary and/or testimonies of the witnesses) sa court and there is nothing left to be presented, pwede pa rin tumuloy yun kahit magdesist ang wife mo.

Please consult with your lawyer.
