Incheon Law Firm Assistance | Incheon Attorney Obtains Dismissal of the Plaintiff's Claim in a Marriage Nullity Action

The account given by the client, who consulted with the Incheon attorney, is as follows.

The client had been in a common-law relationship with A for 15 years.

About a year earlier, however, A was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was hospitalized, and the client devotedly cared for A.

A then proposed to the client that they register their marriage, and the two registered the marriage with their mutual consent.

Less than a month after the marriage was registered, however, A passed away.

Afterward, A's younger sibling filed this action, claiming that the client had kept A under control and registered the marriage.

First, even though the client and A had registered the marriage by mutual agreement, A's younger sibling was claiming that the marriage registration was void.

The Incheon attorney therefore gathered relevant evidence, including a transcript of a recording and the marriage registration form, and devised a strategy to prove that the marriage was not void.

The plaintiff argued that, because A lacked mental capacity due to poor health, A was not in a position to prevent the marriage registration.

The attorney emphasized, however, that the recording made at the time of the marriage registration showed that A clearly expressed his own intent and proposed to the client that they register the marriage.

The plaintiff argued that the client had kept A under control and blocked contact between the plaintiff and A.

The plaintiff, however, was unable to offer any proof as to how contact had been blocked or how control had been exercised.

The attorney also emphasized that the restrictions on hospital visits due to COVID-19 at the time had to be taken into account, and that this showed the client had not blocked contact.

The case above was one in which a client, sued for marriage nullity by the younger sibling of a deceased spouse, requested a consultation with an Incheon attorney.
