English translation of the principle

The challenged judgment's rejection of the appellant's defence denying the parentage of his two children on the basis that the marital relationship between the parties was established by a final judgment or that denial of parentage can only occur through an action of mutual imprecation, which the appellant did not pursue. The appellant's contention that mutual imprecation can only take place between spouses in a valid marriage. Unfounded.
