CA,505SCRA564
FACTS: In 1988, Orly married Lilia. In 1992, Orly filed an annulment case
of their marriage on the ground that he was forced to marry Lilia becaue he
received phone calls from a certain Ka Celso, a member of NPA, who
threatened him to be killed if he wont marry Lilia. He also claimed that he
was defrauded by Lilia by making him believe that he was pregnant. Lilia
denied these allegations, claiming Orly freely cohabitated with her and
showed 14 letters as proof of Orlys affection and care towards her.
ISSUE: Whether or not there really was fraud in obtaining Orlys consent to
marry Lilia

HELD: No. It is obvious that Orly seeks to annul his marriage because of a
pending bigamy case filed by Lilia. Also, Orlys contentions were not
concretely established, taki8ng in consideration that he is a security guard
who is knowledgeable of self-defense. His allegations that he never had an
erection during their sexual intercourse is a lie. Also, it took him four years
to file an action, which only supports Lilias contention that he freely
cohabitated with her.
