Summary
Updated 2026-08-19

Marie Josephine Leopoldine Bracken was the common-law wife of Filipino nationalist José Rizal during his exile in Dapitan. Hours before Rizal's execution on December 30, 1896, the couple were allegedly married at Fort Santiago following Rizal's alleged reconciliation with the Catholic Church. Some sectors, including Rizal's family, dispute the marriage because no records were found regarding the union, even if it was attested by Bracken herself and the officiating priest.
