The case involves an administrative complaint filed by Ma. Lourdes A. Galit-Inoy against her husband, Melvin DC. Inoy, a Court Stenographer III, for immorality. The complaint alleged that respondent had an illicit relationship with a woman named Mary Ann, as evidenced by romantic and intimate photographs and a sex video. The Judicial Integrity Board (JIB) found respondent guilty of Disgraceful and Immoral Conduct and recommended a six-month suspension without pay. The Supreme Court adopted the JIB's findings with modification, classifying the offense as Gross Immorality and suspending respondent for six months and one day without pay.

The case involves a petition for review on certiorari filed by Rosanna L. Tan-Andal, seeking to nullify her marriage to Mario Victor M. Andal on the ground of psychological incapacity. The Court of Appeals (CA) overturned the decision of the trial court, which declared the marriage void ab initio due to respondent's psychological incapacity. The Supreme Court affirmed the CA's decision, but Justice Gaerlan's separate concurring opinion raised important points regarding the interpretation of Article 36 of the Family Code and the concept of family in the context of modern societal norms.
