EFFECTS OF PARDON 
It is ruled that the subsequent valid marriage between the offended parties shall eliminate the 
criminal action or the penalty imposed. 
In the event that the legal husband is the offender, the authentic forgiveness emanated by the wife as 
the offended party shall deter the criminal action or the penalty: Provided that the crime shall not be 
extinguished or the penalty shall not be abated if the marriage is void from the start. 
In addition to this, any physical overt act manifesting resistance against the act of rape in any degree 
from the offended party, or where the offended party is so situated as to render the incapacity of 
giving valid consent, may be accepted as evidence in the prosecution of the acts.
