“Under the jurisprudence of this State the applicability of these two articles [2221 and 3542] has been restricted to those nullities that are not in derogation of public order and good morals. In considering them this Court has differentiated between nullities of that type and those established in the interest of individuals, and has narrowed the applicability of the articles to the latter class of nullities.”
