Divorce In The Philippines

[klayko243]

Nah its not gonna help if your gonna live in one dysfunctional home more likely you'll end up hating each other more and it's not gonna be good for the kids. Make them understand about the current situation it gets a lot complicated if the kids are not gonna cooperate

We live in an antiquated and old-fashioned society that is strongly under the grasp of conservative thought. Being practical and common sense are ideas that are abhorred and shot down by those who insist their narrow-minded perspective.

yes of course.meron kasi na nagpakasal lang kasi the girl got pregnant.tapos after some time, they would realize na mali pala na

nagpakasal sila.kung legal na yung divorce, meron pa sila time to find true happiness.

there is mention of divorce in the bible and mostly if it was due to infidelity. this is my take, either this will be divorce or annulment, it is important to remember to be always mindful of the decisions to be made if you're going to push this. and make sure the decision is not a juvenile one like you're no longer satisfied in sex or just no longer interested with your partner.

In my opinion I agree that we adopt divorce here in the Philippines. The reason behind this is the fact that now that we have annulment here, when a couple annulled their marriage their children gets to be illegitimate since their marriage is void (which causes the marriage to be annulled) unlike in divorce even if a couple gets divorce the right of the children would always be protected.

 

Anyway, if a couple would tend to leave each other, for any of their personal reasons they would do so be there divorce or not.

i would put the divorce bill into my top 5 laws that urgently needs to be enacted in the philippines.

[complicated8]

^^it's not that urgent. Most people just separate and live their lives without being hassled by their previous partner/spouse.

this needs to happen. being catholic isnt a good enough reason to stay together. thing is marriage is a sacred bond, and if couples arent living up to the roles in that bond anymore for whatever reason, sometimes its best to just leave. why pretend

[mastertorero]

call me old-fashioned, hypocrite, whatever...

 

i still don't agree with divorce.

 

"what God has joined together, let no man put asunder"

[skykaLabaw]

I agree. Being Catholic or Christian is not enough reason to stop such law from being enacted. The government is supposed to be an entirely different institution for every Filipino citizen. Religion should not be a big factor in law-making. How about other people who have different beliefs? How about people who doesn't believe in religion or God at all?

[ReDBaByBuRn]

yes! definitely!

[deepdiverboy]

The Catholic Church is insisting on putting up the charade that divorce will only destroy lives. Mga ulol! Being molested by priests--THAT will destroy lives. Not being able to move on because a piece of paper says you are legally bound to another person--THAT will destroy a person's sense of peace. Insisting that 2 people stick together even if it means hurting themselves and their kids--THAT is absolute nonsense.

 

Americans and other Westerners have been able to demarcate the line between Church and State, despite the Church's stand against divorce. It's time Filipinos do the same. Love God and your fellowman, but remember that most of today's rules were enacted by men and not God Himself.

sensitive topic but i think there should be divorce here. there are certain issues between couples that cant be fixed. but there should be strict guidelines which grants divorce to a couple. hindi pwede basta ayaw na magsama e i grant agad ang divorce. dapat kung gaano kahirap ang requirements sa pagpapakasal mas doble strikto ang requirements sa pagdi divorce.

101% pro-DIVORCE ako. I'm a separated man so alam ko kung gaano kahirap matali sa marriage lalo na pag wala ng LOVE. Bigyan dapat ng pagkakataon ang mga hiwalay na maging MALAYA ulit!!!

I'm pro divorce but I suggest too all the male to first think 100 x before getting married. when your stuck with it and have children, it's hard for the kids. I fell in live with another girl after I got married ... can't get out. so i had an affair but she couldn't live like that forever. so she left me.

 

I AM PRO-DIVORCE
