#Virtual Marriage

Among the amendments, the following are required to validate the marriage: Legal capacity of the contracting parties who must be a male and a female Consent freely given in the presence of the solemnizing officer. Presence may either be physical or virtual. If virtual, the contracting parties must be physically present together in the same location. The requisites for the marriage include the authority of the solemnizing officer, a valid marriage license (with certain exceptions), and a marriage ceremony that takes place with the physical or virtual appearance of the contracting parties before the solemnizing officer. A religious rite for the solemnization of the marriage is not required. If the marriage is performed virtually, the certificate of marriage must be notarized prior to its registration with the local civil registrar to ensure its authenticity and due execution, and to ascertain the identity of contracting parties properly. The Virtual Marriage Act aims to help those looking to get married, even without the physical presence of a solemnizing officer. He also stated, "The legal meaning of presence or personal appearance must now be liberally construed to include virtual presence or presence through videoconferencing." https://twitter.com/erwincolcol/status/1277854807332515840 Via Read more in our articles including "Virtual Marriage Act filed to the House of Representatives" and "ASUS Chromebook CM14 announced".
