Un supuesto de ausencia de consentimiento matrimonial: los mal denominados “matrimonios de conveniencia” o “matrimonios de complacencia”

Abstract

This paper deals with the commonly called "marriages of convenience" or "complacency marriages". Having studied its concept, its characteristics are treated in order to be able to propose a denomination that is a true reflection of the same. Subsequently, the reasons for a legal backlash against marriages of convenience are analyzed. Finally, an applicable sanction on such marriages is suggested according to the current regulation of the Chilean marriage law.
