Practice question
A spouse seeks a declaration concerning the validity of marriage, a matter that cannot validly be compromised under Article 2035. Does Article 151 nevertheless require the parties to attempt a valid compromise of that prohibited issue?
- Yes, because every family issue can be compromised.
- Yes, because a verified pleading repeals Article 2035.
- Yes, because only property issues are exempt.
- No, because all spouses are outside family relations.
- No. Article 151 expressly excepts cases that cannot be compromised under the Civil Code.
