Why people are like this and they do not comfortable to their lives with their family...

i was a single mom before i got married. life is miserable since he told me he cant and he wont accept my son, which was fine but then he started to abuse me. but i just kept mum on it because there is no divorce in the philippines.
i just wish filipinos grow up and be real when it comes to issues like this....The philippines is the only christian nation in asia but look at the different churches biting at each other...its full of hypocrisy

i agree, but the only reason why it is not implemented here is the plasticity of the Catholic Church trying to cover up for divorce although they are covering laws of annulment. It's almost the same thing. Everyone has the right to be happy, and God wants us to be happy. So, it should not only be allowed to the people who use extensive use of divorce, or having very unreasonable reasons why they want to. There are lawyers.

i agree w/ divorce to be legalize coz all of us deserves the chance to be happy, if wer not happy w/ our husband/wife bcoz of many problems, then go...we should leave them to be happy w/ other person.(",)

divorce! d2 sa pinas aba d ako papayag!

I have been married to a Filipina for 5 years who is legally married in the Philippines, but divorced in the USA before we were married. The Philippines needs to join the rest of the world. It is only 1 of 2 countries left in the world that makes divorce illegal.

Under Filipino law she is a still married to her previous husband.

And to make things worse our daughter (my step daughter) is married to a man who is cheating on her with another woman and she is now prisoner of this arcane law.

The Filipino "excuse" reason for keeping divorce illegal is biblical in nature they should consider this:

Deuteronomy 24:1-4 (King James Version)

Deuteronomy 24: 1When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

24:2And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

24:3And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;

24:4Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Catholics like to use the bible as a reason for keeping divorce illegal, but they seem to have failed bible study class. GOD knew man would need divorce or he would not have had Moses write it into Biblical law.

i agree that divorce should be legalize in the ountry... bec. if your not happy anymore and your husband tends to hurt you. i think its really possible to legalize it. the legalization of divorce will also improve the sanctity of marriage....

Although divorce should be banned but in extreme cases like infidelity, abuse it should be granted to the victim. REMARRIAGES and subsequent dating should be banned.

The infidels should be hanged by giving death sentence, be it man or woman.

I hate divorce. Divorce should be banned. Its a pathetic law intitiated by feminists.

I agree on divorse and I believe it is written in the bible that we can remarry, yes Jesus is against with the divorce but I believe that our God is God of Love and Compassion.

Having studied catholic theology and received highest honours up to ph.d level from the best universities in Rome, i feel at this stage i can say what the catholic church's understanding of a broken relationship (marriage) is, is pure crap. Its speaks very well about the ideal and objective of marriage but it has a complete lack when it considers, or failure to consider, the things that go wrong in relationships. The catholic church seems to want to answer this issuse in the same way it gave us LIMBO. Now in the past few weeks it tells us Lay people Limbo never existed. As if we didnt know! Just like some supposed catholic marriages if you ask me. Wake up and give divorce and stop leaving many in LIMBO. oh p.s. did i say my wife was crazy? No? it must be the voices in my head. Oops!

wow, I’m doing a project on the Philippines I just found out that a Divorce is illegal.And to the peson

and to niels

We do not live in the past, in these days where the bible is not look upon as a reference anymore. how will the kids grow up with a couple that hates each other and no hope for it ever getting better? Would you want your kids to grow up in a house know your parents hated each other? They say our kids learn everything form us so why would we allow then to witness this?

Hi
I stumbled on your blog + couldnt resist. I am from South Africa , with a Filippino , who has a "wife" and kids there. We have been together for 6 years and have a always supported her and the children. Divorce - we will be first in line if it is legalised , I totally agree with you , how can you keep others from happiness ( or should we apply for annulment , on grounds that he has a bigamous relationship - which is worse for the kids??) You have my utmost support and I wish you great happiness.

i'm an AB student in Philippine State College of Aeronautics in lipa batangas and i agree that divorce must be legalized here in our country, because as an 18 year old student,i could say that divorce is ONE of the solutions to escape from the wilderness of marriage.............and no one even the catholic church could predict that we could have a happy married life..............................even we say that "till death do us part" but what if your husband is hurting you brutaly!!!!!!!!!! yes death will set you apart if you are already dead................will you wait for that to happen?????..........................

I believe everyone deserves second chances at making their lives work. I do not believe in relationships working by virtue of decree, not even by the Bible, nor by legislation. I find it sad that many individuals are trapped in dysfunctional marriages because it's the only contract that cannot be terminated, even if both parties agree to do so, or worse, a party has breached it irreversibly. Having said that, I really believe that every person is entitled to live a life based on best intentions, and on personal truths, regardless of other people's opinions. May you find your happiness, and may your children and loved ones partake in it.

I'm working on mine. With coffee on the sides =)

i agree with you..there are just some cases which can be resolved only with a divorce or annulment here in our country...not normal it is in our community still but how i wish people would be more logical and think objectively...

sad to say, i am the other woman. if the man i have a relationship now really should stay with me or i should stay with him, i can never be the legal wife...the mark is there--i am the other woman and its pathetic!..

me either... i do not agree that divorce can resolve problems within marriage... it's against the bible and one verse in the bible states that Jesus hates divorce..i don't know in particular the book but i'm sure it exists... i know i don't know much about the constitution and the law about this stuff but it is really not the right solution and definitely should not be a first choice...how about the children? if there are any? their legitimacy and not to mention their phase.. it would be really hard for them (us) if our parents would end up in divorce...

Thank you for visiting my blog and posting your comment. Although I respect your opinion, we're talking about my life here and it's been 20 years since I separated with the biological father of my children and I am hoping I could remarry again (someday). What is your position in my life if I want a divorce? I deserve to be happy as I was married in papers only. The man ran away from his responsibilities and you didn't want me to divorce him?

We're talking of 20 years of suffering raising the kids all by myself, whatever reasons you might have about Divorce Law, I have the right to correct some mistakes in my life... cast the first stone, that is...

I am sorry, but i do not agree with you...
divorce is not a solution, it is just a defeat. there are too many problems relating to a divorce. and the layer fee is the less important, I think...

As you can see, I am looking for your blog!
