Recognition of Nullity
Recognition of nullity refers to the legal acknowledgment that a particular action, such as a marriage or contract, is invalid from the outset. This means that, despite appearing legitimate, the action never had legal effect due to flaws like lack of consent or failure to meet legal requirements. For example, a marriage can be declared null if one party was underage or coerced. Recognizing this nullity allows individuals to return to their original legal status, clearing any misunderstandings or complications that may have arisen from the invalid action.
