there should be divorce in the philippines simply because annulment is prevalent nowadays.

 

at least in divorce, you won't deny that the marriage existed. in annulment, the contention is that it was never valid.

 

look at pops and martin: can anyone say that they were never married to begin with?

 

annulment is a form of hipocrisy, one that is condoned by law.

i want to get a divorce not only because i want to remarry. i may want to use my maiden name again. i may want to get rid of the responsibility that binds me as a spouse, fidelity and other marital contrapments (imbento ko). i am running away from that bill that they are proposing.

presently, he may do something drastic once he sees me. :hypocritesmiley:

I agree there should be divorce here - the only reason that there isn't is due to the pressure from the Church not to legalise it - in reality quite absurd as there already Annulment and Separation laws.

 

It also opens the way for people who escape an unhappy/unfulfilling marriage to get married again if they find the right person. Currently this is not possible and so you have people living together who may not have the same rights as married couples.

Any accusations are bound to be proven.

This is about the law, not about how to circumvent it. Ika nga whether whether lang iyan.

Di nga parehas as you said ....

Hmmm Divorce in the Philippines? I think we should have divorce as a mechanism to get out of a marital bind that has become oppressive to one or both parties. Right now, under our Family Code, marriage is the ONLY contract that assumes perpetuity and without any facility for pre-termination. Annulment only argues that the marriage was never really consummated.

 

Here are some points:

 

1. As a legal instrument, marriage should be subject to some termination mechanism, just like any other contract - a mechanism to agree to disagree agreeably.

2. It's better to provide solid, legal provisions on how to settle marital divorce with the interest of all parties served equitably.

3. Legal separation is not enough because it does not provide any legal protection to future partners and offsprings of both parties. It becomes prejudicial by default.

 

As for opposing it due to the fear that marriage will be trivialized, try asking those who have gone through some separation. It will never be trivial. There's too much emotional capital at stake.

 

People make mistakes. Everyone deserves second chances.
