DIVORCE in the Philippines?!Are you in Favor or not?!

[mazdamazda]

IMO...

kung extreme cases (like domestic abuse / violence, abandonment, etc) sana fast-tracked and annullment system natin.

problem is that only rich & famous people can afford annullment.

[mantoy]

in favor as long as there are safeguards to prevent abuses.

i think the Catholic church and the religious out there should view this as a challenge of the times. if they really believe that their flock are indeed faithful to the christian doctrine of marriage sanctity, why worry about a divorce law? if you're genuinely happy with your marriage, why worry? unless you're living a lie you should definitely worry.

divorce is meant to address problematic marriages. it's not meant to destroy happily married couples. if you don't trust your spouse even if it's obvious that you're living in marriage bliss then you have a big problem.

divorce law is in place in predominantly catholic countries such as italy, france and spain. don't tell me people there value the sanctity of marriage any lesser than we do here. i think the percentage of divorced marriages there is quite low.

if this is not the time to legalize divorce law here in our country, can somebody tell me when?

I couldn't have said it better......

kung may annulment, edi divorce na lang... i guess di nman basta basta mag didivorce ang mga mag-asawa sa tin kung wala naman talagang matinding reason like pananakit, pambababe etc... unlike sa ibang bansa, pag naisipan, gagawin... iba ang culture natin, for us, important ang family esp ang mga anak,as much as possible, kung maaayos ang relationship, aayusin, pero kung di na talaga, annulment or simple paghihiwalay na lang solution... so YES ako sa divorce dahil marami ako kakilala na nagtitiis sa mga asawa nila and lalong nagiging kawawa yung anak dahil lagi sila nag-aaway.

[yomar]

I'm not in favor.

[yomar]

by the way FYI, we have a sort-of-like divorce already existing. And that is under article 36 of the family code. Pero ito yung kung tawagin ay..... PSYCHOLOGICAL INCAPACITY. hehehe.. so kung hindi ka tinatayuan...umm.. eh... pwede na hehehe

[ts1n1ta]

there's always annulment........

[yomar]

and legal separation!

[mantoy]

and legal separation!

legal separation does not allow each party to re-marry.

[the_wildthing]

Hindi pa ba obvious sa mga babae habang boyfriend pa lang na ang lalaki ay babaero/lasenggero/basag-ulero/etc. etc.? Wag magpakasal kung ganon, hindi ba?

Onga... kya dpat isip muna mabuti if the person you want to marry is the one you want to be with all your life. Para maiwasan ang sisihan sa huli.

Minsan kasi ibang tao bulag tlaga sa pagibig... hindi na iniisip kahit anu pa manyari.

[wilcats]

bsta No ako jan... hindi na iisipn ng couples na maresolve pa ung problem nila... what if may baby na diba? kwawa nman maguguluhan...

[mantoy]

the problem with annulment is the process takes too long. and in order to prove psychological incapacity you need a psychiatrist which makes the process very expensive. if they overhaul the whole annulment process (which i doubt will happen) probably we don't need any more divorce law.

[ILuvDetailing]

mukhang split dito ang mga tsikoteers ah, both sides have valid points. Sana kung mas di magastos yung divorse kesa annulment yun na lang but malabo ata yun.

[mazdamazda]

ang matutuwa lang sa divorce ay mga lawyers... hehe...

kaya talagang careful sa mga pipiliing hubby / wifey... problema kasi dito sa Pinas eh parang *norm* na dapat may asawa ka na before the age of 30... kaya siguro maraming parang *pilit* na mag asawa. dami kasi talagang ogag na lalake... kahit may asawa hanap pa nang hanap... geez...

better be single & happy than married & miserable.

[yomar]

iluvdetailing: kaya nga kikita ang mga abogado eh herherherher uy joke lang yon ha!! joke lang!!!

this is my take: dapat marriage should be considered sacred. hindi yung tipong infatuated lang.. or nabuntisan lang, sige pakasal na. yun kasi ang traditional view at sinusunod ng iba diba? Sa akin, kung hindi mo naman nakikita bilang asawa yung tao, wag mo pakasalan dahil lang sa baby. Siyempre bigyan mo ng support pero wag mo pilitin sarili mo dun sa tao just for the sake of legitimacy of the child.

Kung may divorce law, at madali lang ang process, aba sige kasal lang ng kasal. O teka, hindi nagwork-out?? o tara divorce! I think mali yon.

Pero akin lang naman yon hehehe.

ganyan na ganyan situation ng kakilala ko, nabuntisan kaya pinakasalan nya, ngaun antagal ng annulment nila. haha naman kasi di makapigil hehehe

[yomar]

ewan ko diyan sa mga yan... may condom naman. hehehe joke. OT ako..

[artpogi]

I'm for divorce.

If a couple decide that they don't want to be together anymore, that's the couple's choice, it's not the State's, but the State should implement a provision in the divorce law that if a couple get's a divorce and the couple has minor children, it's still the divorced couples shared responsibility of providing basic necessecities to their minor children, and if they (the couples), neglect their responsibility, they will go to jail

[yomar]

yup.. legal sep is just a bed and board separation. Pero mas gusto ko na yon kesa sa divorce kasi somehow mapapaisip pa din mga pinoy before marrying
