A dispute arose concerning the validity of a marriage entered into by a person who was legally married to another at the time, leading to a subsequent request for the annulment of the second marriage based on bigamy. The Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that while the initial marriage had not been formally dissolved, the subsequent marriage was void *ab initio* because the legal impediment (the prior undissolved marriage) existed at the time the second marriage was contracted, establishing a clear ground for annulment.
