Divorce in the RP

"divorce"

The family Code of the Philippines define marriage this way:

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 whose nature, consequences, and incidents are governed by law ...etcetera .........

According to the Catechism :

Man is created in the image and likeness of God who is himself love. Since God created him man and woman, their mutual love becomes an image of the absolute and unfailing love with which God loves man. And this love which God blesses is intended to be fruitful and to be realized in the common work of watching over creation...

A Law Student's Comment:

Divorce should be legalized here in Philippines......nyahahaah tukar nasad ko........( Wala lang nakausap ko lang ang guy friend kung gusto ng makipaghiwalay.:( Bitaw uy why let the two individual suffer so much with each others company when everything along with the relationship seems becoming more and more difficult to work out? What is that, hypocrisy?

Yeah, there are still some who believes marriage as holy, that it must be treated with reverence.......but, perhaps, God never said for us to be hypocrite because for some marriage only means to them as preserving the tie and keeping the bond and relationship even if the feelings is no longer there,.......Our present law is defiant and hypocrite to the reality, likewise the framers of our law, and all of us filipinos in general,, nyahaha...We have annulment at declaration of nullity pero ky hirap ng mga grounds, atsaka mahal...nyahahah...We also have legal separation pero walang kwenta eee,,,nyayyy!:) Does God said that man should shoulder unnecessary sacrifices?..duh! Nyway, just an opinion, don't intepret it in a bad light....;)... Anywayz,,, laws evolve.............. :)..But Filipinos do evolve?......duh!....:)

Hayzzzz,,,,ewan. But as for me, divorce is a better one...Dapat magkaroon na tayo ng divorce law, anywayz it is an option only for those who have unsuccesful marriage,....yung mga successful one, well, padayon! :)

And this is all I can say:

ahahahhaha ohh carina I am very sorry I am so ignoramus on this part! ahahahahha I didn’t realize until your second page na ingon ini diay ni cya! ahahhaha sowee jud... I want to comment on this divorce issue... hmmmm grave... true gurl.. not all marriages are made from heaven! lisod jud! I’d rather stay in neutral. Kung ako lang pabut-on, since the definition for marriage by law itself states that its is a bilateral contract, why not propose to make it renewable every five (5) years instead... (more or less nyahahahahhah) Hence marriage is an irrevocable contract, that leaves me speechless-- ayaw nalang mo minyo oi! kapoy ba ani! galabad akong head! shwag-shwag nalang mo! practice makes perfect! hehehehe

Now, is this proposition of an exact epitome of an equitable justice??? No comment! Aja! Life is short, fill it as if there is no more tomorrow because you might not realize that it will only take a glimpse to make your self happy. Basta, ako??? I have spent my last 8 years making other person happy and it was only later I realized that I already forgot what happiness is all about... ouch! Love your self the best to be the best person for that best person you want to love. At least, if it will resort to marriage and marriage will fail... that is beyond the ends of forces of nature, and you know you have taken an extra mile to make it last.

What is this preservation of the sanctity of marriage all about when it already loses the real and true meaning of marriage. While it is true that one cannot pretend forever just to stay married, respect for self and to another must neither be not compromised nor be placed in jeopardy. No comment on the legal grounds for Nullity of Marriage and Annulment; but for legal separation? It’s damn and whoever avails it, he is damnatory (sorry for the remark). Legal Separation is useless, which ever we look at it and in the long run, they just found a valid reason to become infidel making cheating legal. The marriage in Legal Separation is still valid, existing and only the conjugal rights are resolved, from the liquidation of kids, assets, properties down to the liabilities. What it is thereafter? Elicit cohabitation with another partner is permitted but not legalized since either the man or woman, who is declared as legally separated, is barred from contracting another marriage.

Once again, I respect the framers of our Laws, these are just a constant reminder of an individual's initiative to get involved to current issues and this is my opinion.
