MERGED: Divorce in the Philippines

[Jantehshiznit]

Thread updated with poll.

Divorce is the answer to those who are in an abussive relationship. I can imagine it will help those who have honestly given their all but are unhappy.

IMO, both RH and Divorce Bill needs a referendum rather than debating and arguing with each other. the votes will serve as the voice of the people like Malta did.

i'll decide when i see the grounds for divorce in the bill.

Ako ok ko ani especially para sa mga mag tiayon nga dili na happy, sa mga battered husband & wife ^^ para sa mga ma luibon nga asawa/bana. Para gyud ni nila, pwede kaau para pd maka tagamtam cla sa tinuod nga kalipay. para raman sad na nila. if happy ka sa imo marriage then never gyud mo mo abot aning divorce. mao na akong opinion ^^

no.........i still believe in marriage.....and i'm not gonna argue about it.....

Grounds for Annulment:

1. Absence of Parental Consent
2. Mental Illness (at the moment of marriage)
3. Fraud (consent of either party was obtained by fraud)
4. Force, intimidation, or undue influence (still during marriage)
5. Impotence
6. STD. If curable may still constitute fraud.

Notes:

• Being separated from your spouse with or without communication is not grounds for annulment. It does not matter how many years you are separated.
• Infidelity is not grounds for annulment.
• Physical violence is not sufficient to nullify a marriage. At the very least, however, these grounds may be used as basis for legal separation.

How is “legal separation” different from annulment?
The basic difference is this – in legal separation, the spouses are still considered married to each other, and, thus, may not remarry.

well of course common sense na kaau na if there's something life-threatening, seek help sa mga authorities but it doesn't mean divorce dayon. gi-normous quarrels start from petty ones. better fix the small hole on the roof first before rain comes and flood the entire house. there.is.always.a.solution....it may seem impossible at first but great things come to those who persevere, in prayer and good works....
peace

how about gibugbug, nangaliwa (naa pa jud anak sa iba), martyr pa rin ka??
