If the marriage is contracted in a foreign country with one of the contracting parties having been born in Puerto Rico and the other one abroad, and they should not declare or stipulate anything with regard to their property, it shall be understood that they marry under the legal rules of the country in which the contracting parties establish their conjugal domicile; taking into account other factors which in all fairness must be considered, such as a conflict of motive or center of conjugal interests, all without prejudice to that which is established in this title with respect to real property.
