Lucita Hernandez filed a petition to annul her marriage to Mario Hernandez, alleging that he failed to support the family, was frequently drunk, had affairs with other women, fathered a child with another woman, and abandoned Lucita and their children. The trial court and Court of Appeals dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court ruled that Mario's actions did not constitute psychological incapacity, as his behaviors would need to demonstrate an underlying disordered personality that made him completely unable to fulfill his marital obligations, rather than being due to youth or feelings of attractiveness. The Court affirmed the lower courts' judgment dismissing the annulment petition.
