MERGED: Divorce in the Philippines

[ruji]

---

Where in the 1987 Constitution can we find the section that authorizes the State to validate divorce? If one reads the Constitution very carefully, then he/she will find something like the following

ARTICLE II
Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution.

ARTICLE XV

Section 1. The State recognizes the Filipino family as the foundation of the nation. Accordingly, it shall strengthen its solidarity and actively promote its total development.
Section 2. Marriage, as an inviolable social institution, is the foundation of the family and shall be protected by the State.


moreover, in the Family Code of the Philippines

Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution...

This means the Church is not interfering with the government. She is just reiterating not only the laws of God but also the laws of the land, which clearly and definitely disallowed divorce by defining marriage as a permanent and inviolable (unbreakable) union between man and woman. So if we don't believe anymore the Bible, at least believe in the Constitution.

nag tan.aw man jud ka atong harapan sa abs-cbn kay gi quote jud nimo ang line sa abno nga bishop bacani..

kahibaw naman kaha ka sa provision ug grounds sa divorce? ni ingon btaw to na e amend, or pun.an lng.

unsa pa man ang e protect sa state sa sanctity of marriage when its already broken? when the constituents are killing each other.. unsa kaha na ka traumatic sa ilang mga kids? i guess u should understand na tanan dli jud successful aning marriage life nila. the laws of the state and the church does not fall on to the case to case basis.. mao gani gi create ni para tabangan to sila gakinahanglan.
ug kahibaw ka unsa sulti ni colminares kang bacani?
