Article 198 of the French Civil Code

Where proof of a legal celebration of the marriage is acquired by the result of criminal proceedings, the entry of the judgment in the civil status registers ensures that the marriage has full civil effects from the day of its celebration, both in respect of the spouses and in respect of the children of the marriage.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 198

Lorsque la preuve d’une célébration légale du mariage se trouve acquise par le résultat d’une procédure criminelle, l’inscription du jugement sur les registres de l’état civil assure au mariage, à compter du jour de sa célébration, tous les effets civils, tant à l’égard des époux qu’à l’égard des enfants issus de ce mariage.
