A marriage which is void because of contravening section 1452 does not cause the person who has entered into it in good faith to lose the rights acquired on its account before he knows of the cause of its voidness. But the said void marriage does not create to any spouse the right to succeed to the inheritance of the other spouse as his statutory heir.”

“If no court has ordered annulment of the marriage until both persons attain the age under section 1448 or, in the event that a marriage between a man and woman is concerned, the woman becomes pregnant before attaining the age under section 1448, the marriage shall be deemed to have been valid since the time of the marriage.”

But if the person having the right to request annulment of the marriage is an insane person who has not yet been adjudged incompetent by any court, the said person may request annulment of the marriage but he must request the court to adjudge the insane person incompetent at the same time. In the event that the court dismisses the request for adjudgment of incompetency, the court shall also dismiss his request for annulment of the marriage.”
