sirs,

 

would you be kind enough to post here the law and its implementing rules on adultery? mejo mahaba, but i'm sure lots of people from MTC will greatly benefit from it. iba pa rin shempre ung alam mo kahit pano ang batas, di po ba?

 

thanks and Happy Father's Day! 

the law on marital infidelity under the revised penal code (RPC) are as follows:

"Art. 333. Who are guilty of adultery. — Adultery is committed by any married woman who shall have sexual intercourse with a man not her husband and by the man who has carnal knowledge of her knowing her to be married, even if the marriage be subsequently declared void.

Adultery shall be punished by prision correccional in its medium and maximum periods.

"If the person guilty of adultery committed this offense while being abandoned without justification by the offended spouse, the penalty next lower in degree than that provided in the next preceding paragraph shall be imposed.

"Art. 334. Concubinage. — Any husband who shall keep a mistress in the conjugal dwelling, or shall have sexual intercourse, under scandalous circumstances, with a woman who is not his wife, or shall cohabit with her in any other place, shall be punished by prision correccional in its minimum and medium periods.

"The concubine shall suffer the penalty of destierro. "

discussed this somewhat in another thread: http://manilatonight.com/index.php?showtopic=1664&st=170

a conviction for adultery is punishable by up to 6 years in prison. each act of intercourse (each "round" according to MTCers) constitutes a separate act of adultery. concubinage is punished by up to 4 years and 2 months in prison.

in civil law matters, adultery and concubinage were grounds for the filing of a petition for legal separation. the family code [Art. 55 (8)] dropped these terms and instead substituted "sexual infidelity or perversion" as one of the grounds for legal separation.
