Practice question: Void and Voidable Marriages

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

Evidence shows grave manifestations only became visible years after the wedding, but clear and convincing evidence connects them to the durable pre-marital personality structure and incapacity already existing at celebration. The opponent says late visibility alone categorically defeats 36. Which is best?
  1. The incapacity must exist at celebration, but later manifestation does not alone negate that established antecedence.
  2. Every manifestation must be publicly visible at the ceremony.
  3. Any later manifestation necessarily proves a post-marital origin.
  4. The wedding photographer alone determines incapacity.
  5. Timing is wholly irrelevant under 36.
