Ramon Chiang sold properties to Serafin Modina that were claimed to have been purchased from his wife Merlinda. However, Merlinda denied selling the properties to Ramon. The court ruled the sale between Ramon and Merlinda was invalid according to Article 1490 of the Civil Code which prohibits the sale of property between husband and wife, unless certain exceptions apply. As the sale between Ramon and Merlinda was invalid, Ramon's subsequent sale of the properties to Serafin was also void.

SERAFIN MODINA, petitioner vs. COURT OF APPEALS AND ERNESTO HONTARCIEGO, PAUL FIGUEROA, TEODORO HIPALLA AND RAMON CHIANG, MERLINDA CHIANG, respondents. Facts: Ramon Chiang sold properties to petitioner Serafin Modina. He claimed that the properties were sold to him by his wife, Melinda, as evidenced by a Deed of Absolute Sale. Merlinda, on the other hand, avers that she did not sell the properties to his husband. ISSUE: Whether or not the sale between Ramon and Melinda was valid. RULING: NO. Art. 1490. The husband and the wife cannot sell property to each other, except: (1) when a separation of property was agreed upon in the marriage settlements; or (2) when there has been a judicial separation of property under Art. 191. The exception to the rule laid down in Art. 1490 of the New Civil Code not having existed with respect to the property relations of Ramon Chiang and Merlinda Plana Chiang, the sale by the latter in favor of the former of the properties in question is invalid for being prohibited by law. Not being the owner of subject properties, Ramon Chiang could not have validly sold the same to plaintiff Serafin Modina. The sale by Ramon Chiang in favor of Serafin Modina is, likewise, void and inexistent. PRINCIPLE: In a sale of a property that is invalid for being prohibited by law, such as that sale between a husband and wife (Art 1490 NCC), the consequent sale of the same property to another is likewise void and inexistent.
