I have a similar problem using Tuple with Choice. formlib validation
don't check is this field has a value. Is that a bug?

Then I create my own validate method and custom widget that follow:

    def validate(self, action, data):
        """Validate form using same as FormBase along with a
customized validation.
        """
        return (form.getWidgetsData(self.widgets, self.prefix, data)
                + form.checkInvariants(self.form_fields, data)
                + self.validate_enviar(action, data)
                )

    def validate_enviar(self, action, data):
        """Validation for field Tuple with value_type=Choice and my
own widget derived from MultiCheckBoxWidget
        """
        errors = []
        for form_field in self.form_fields:
            error = None
            field_name = form_field.__name__
            widget = self.widgets[field_name]
            empty_marker_name = getattr(widget, 'empty_marker_name', None)
            if widget.name not in self.request.form and empty_marker_name:
                if empty_marker_name not in self.request.form:
                    error = WidgetInputError(field_name=field_name,

widget_title=form_field.field.title,
                                             errors=('Campo
obrigatório não informado.')
                                             )
            if error:
                widget.error = error.errors
                errors.append(error)
        return errors

class MyMultiCheckBoxWidget(MultiCheckBoxWidget):
    """Subclass to customized MultiCheckBoxWidget
    """
    orientation = 'horizontal'

    def _emptyMarker(self):
        """Disable _empytMarker
        """
        return ''
