Annulment 101

[wilde_imagination]

 

(Medyo off-topic, but still related)

 

Sex even between married couples must be consensual. Without consent, sex between a married couple is marital rape and a crime.

 

Offhand though, you don't know the exact circumstances of why your friend refuses her husband sex or the exact circumstances by which the husband is able to have sex with her regardless. Just from your post, it sounds more like a matter that should be brought before counseling first. If the city/municipal DSWD office has no in-house counselors, they likely have contact information on where such counseling services are available.

 

If however there is force or threat of force involved, or any form of coercion to make the wife submit to the husband's sexual advances (ie. sasaktan yung anak, hindi bibigyan ng pera para sa gastusin, etc.), then that may be a crime under the VAWC law. Your friend may want to file a complaint before the office of the City Prosecutor.

Article 8 of the Family Code says:

 

 

The marriage shall be solemnized publicly in the chambers of the judge or in open court, in the church, chapel or temple, or in the office the consul-general, consul or vice-consul, as the case may be, and not elsewhere, except in cases of marriages contracted on the point of death or in remote places in accordance with Article 29 of this Code, or where both of the parties request the solemnizing officer in writing in which case the marriage may be solemnized at a house or place designated by them in a sworn statement to that effect.

 

So for as long as there was a request made in writing to the minister, and the minister ok'd it, no problem.

This cannot be answered quickly.

 

Why don't you PM the lawyers here directly and ask them personally. For us to PM you is a form of solicitation which we cannot do.

What are the usual grounds for Annulment?

My now pregnant wife is emotionally and mentally unstable, I'm afraid it might get worse on her post-partum depression.

 

I've been verbally abused, there are times physical din, and emotionally manipulated.

If I decide to move on with my life, will that be enough?

Art. 45 of the Family Code says:

 

Art. 45. A marriage may be annulled for any of the following causes, existing at the time of the marriage:

(1) That the party in whose behalf it is sought to have the marriage annulled was eighteen years of age or over but below twenty-one, and the marriage was solemnized without the consent of the parents, guardian or person having substitute parental authority over the party, in that order, unless after attaining the age of twenty-one, such party freely cohabited with the other and both lived together as husband and wife;

(2) That either party was of unsound mind, unless such party after coming to reason, freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife;

(3) That the consent of either party was obtained by fraud, unless such party afterwards, with full knowledge of the facts constituting the fraud, freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife;

(4) That the consent of either party was obtained by force, intimidation or undue influence, unless the same having disappeared or ceased, such party thereafter freely cohabited with the other as husband and wife;

(5) That either party was physically incapable of consummating the marriage with the other, and such incapacity continues and appears to be incurable; or

(6) That either party was afflicted with a sexually-transmissible disease found to be serious and appears to be incurable.

 

Note that emotIonal and mental instability IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO UNSOUNDNESS OF MIND (INSANITY).

 

Baka ang kailangan mo ay hindi annulment, kundi DECLARATION OF NULLITY (legally speaking, iba ito, pero usually kasi, pag hindi abugado, lahat yan napagsasama-sama sa salitang "annulment"), sa ilalim ng Art. 36 ng Family Code:

 

Art. 36. A marriage contracted by any party who, at the time of the celebration, was psychologically incapacitated to comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage, shall likewise be void even if such incapacity becomes manifest only after its solemnization.

 

Hindi natin basta-basta masasabi kung sapat na ang mga naikwento mo para makamit mo ang iyong KALAYAAN sa pamamagitan ng Art. 36 ng Family Code. Kailangan kasing masuri ng isang eksperto (psychiatrist o psychologist) ang sitwasyon mo at mismong kayong mag-asawa. Lumapit sa isang abugado para mabigyan ka ng payong mas naaayon sa sitwasyon mo (dahil mailalahad mo ang lahat sa kanya ng personal, at mas malamang sa hindi, ay may kakilala na itong ekspertong psychiatrist o psychologist).

 

Good luck sa iyo!

Pwede.

 

Mas madali yan kesa sa "psychological incapacity". Problema mo lang ang pagpapatunay na buhay pa ang unang asawa ng asawa mo hanggang ngayon.

[signore]

Pwede.

Kailangang makakuha ka ng matibay na ebidensya na buhay pa si Hapon nung kayo ay ikinasal, at matibay na ebidensya na ang diborsyo na nakuha ni Hapon ay pagkatapos na ng inyong kasal. Kapag meron ka na nito, madali na ang pagsampa ng kaso sa hukuman para ipawalang bisa ang kasal mo.

Ahh magaling kaya ko po nalaman na kasal sya sa hapo bago kami kinasal ay dahil din sa divorce paper na kinuha nya sa japan nung nag punta sya. Sa totoo lang kaya ko nalaman na kasal sya ay dahil sa divorce papers na naipa translate ko ito at nalaman ko nga na kasal pala sya. Tanong ko lang po ulit.. Madali po ba ang proseso nito kung ma provide ko yung lahat ng ebidensya na meron ako?

 

Salamat
