Article 201 of the French Civil Code

A marriage which has been declared null shall, nevertheless, produce its effects in respect of the spouses, where it was contracted in good faith.

If good faith exists only on the part of one of the spouses, the marriage shall produce its effects only in favour of that spouse.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 201

Le mariage qui a été déclaré nul produit, néanmoins, ses effets à l’égard des époux, lorsqu’il a été contracté de bonne foi.

Si la bonne foi n’existe que de la part de l’un des époux, le mariage ne produit ses effets qu’en faveur de cet époux.
