In Santos v. Court of Appeals,10 the
Court declared that psychological incapacity must be characterized by
(a) gravity,
(b) juridical antecedence, and
(c) incurability.11
It should refer to "no less than a mental, not physical, incapacity
that causes a party to be truly incognitive of the basic marital
covenants that concomitantly must be assumed and discharged by the
parties to the marriage."12
The intendment of the law has been to confine the meaning of
"psychological incapacity" to the most serious cases of personality
disorders clearly demonstrative of an utter insensitivity or inability
to give meaning and significance to the marriage.13
