The case involved a dispute over the validity of a marriage contracted by a party who had previously entered into a second marriage while the first was still legally subsisting, even though the first spouse was absent and presumed dead, leading to a decree of presumed death that was later revoked; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the revocation of the decree of presumed death retroactively invalidated the second marriage because the first spouse was not legally deceased at the time of the second union, as the law does not permit subsequent validation of a bigamous marriage contracted under a mistake concerning the continued existence of the first spouse.
