Mr Lee Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Why wouldn't divorce be better? Making children into bastards seems awful cruel to me by declaring that the marriage never existed. Psychological incapacity is a common ground for declaration of nullity or legal separation in the Philippines, CBCP said, citing a document from the OSG.Other grounds include lack of authority from the solemnizing officer, bigamous or polygamous marriages, and marriages where one or both parties were below the marrying age allowed by law.Rep. Neri Colmenares of Bayan Muna party-list has filed House Bill 3952 early this year, which seeks to recognize spousal violence, infidelity and abandonment as presumptive psychological incapacity.Troubled couples in the Philippines turn to annulment, or the process of declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, which only terminates a bad marriage, an annulled union is treated as if it never existed.The reference story HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
