Divorce is for 2 consenting adults who want and need it. If it's not for you because of your religion or belief, then why would you prevent others from having it?

[@HonoratoInfante]

Nonsense! hyprocrytical comment!you cannot deside others body!

[@turquoise806]

Our current laws allow for married people to legally separate. We already have it. Instead, making the process of legal separation a lot easier and affordable should be the focus. There is absolution no need for a divorce law.

[@beautifullycreatable]

Eh di mag file kau ng legal separation or divorce. Marriage is not just a contract na pag ayaw na pareho ay ayaw na. You may not had grasp what marriage is in the first place. If you do not have the decision to commit, do not commit in the 1st place. Otherwise, sa hwes ka na lng magpakasal.

If you have a happy marriage then divorce is not for you. Do not deprived others of freedom from sufferings, those who are not as lucky as you. God also do not want His children to suffer anymore that’s why divorce will be approved in this country. How can a toxic marriage become sacred? If your husband is cheating on you, beating you and your children, or is not providing even food on the table, how can your marriage be sacred????

[@jnleyson]

Why not improve the power of legal separation? Divorce aims nothing but remarriage. Marriage is only for those who know the meaning of LIFETIME COMMITMENT. How about initiating a movement for contractual partnership? I think differentiating Marriage (LIFETIME) and Contract Based Partnership would be a better option for anybody who is in line with yoyr stand

If divorce is prohibited by the Constitution then why annulment is allowed.? Kalokohan Pati ba naman sa marriage may social classification pa din. Annulment pang mayaman lang. Pano naman yung mga mahihirap na walang pang annull sa kasal.?

[@jnleyson]

@@anthonystaana7079 kasi po iba sa annulment nililinaw lang na invalid o mag defect yung marriage kaya NULL po ito. Huehue

[@AshSnow-c6m]

Annulment means the wedding did not really happen therefore null, divorce on the other hand means that the man and woman are formerly married but no longer after divorce, the annulment means no marriage has pushed through in the first place therefore when a marriage between a man and a woman was annuled that means they were never married in the first place.

Divorce is important in a civil society as it provides a legal means to dissolve marriages that are irreparably broken, ensuring individual rights and freedoms. It allows individuals to leave unhealthy or abusive relationships, promotes personal well-being, and upholds the principles of personal autonomy and equality. By enabling the legal end of a marriage, divorce helps maintain social stability and allows people to rebuild their lives, contributing to the overall health of the society.

[@beautifullycreatable]

It is not important, it destroys the foundation of the community, it risks the security of women and it shaken's a child's development.

A 1985 study tracked 1,000 families with children aged 6 to 18 for six years and found that children living in intact married families exhibited the least delinquency, while children with stepfathers were more likely to demonstrate the most disruptive behaviors. In a British longitudinal study of males aged 8 to 32, David P. Farrington, professor of criminology at Cambridge University, found that the divorce of parents before a child reached age 10 is a major predictor of adolescent delinquency and adult criminality. A recent U.S. longitudinal study which tracked over 6,400 boys over a period of 20 years (well into their adult years) found that children without biological fathers in the home are roughly three times more likely to commit a crime that leads to incarceration than are children from intact families Excerpt from " Effects of Divorce in America" by Patrick F. Fagan and Robert Rector

@@beautifullycreatable but since you asked for it here you go: Kelly, J. B., & Emery, R. E. (2003), "Children's adjustment following divorce: Risk and resilience perspectives," explores various factors influencing how children adjust to divorce. Here is a summary focusing on the potential positive influences or effects on children: Resilience Perspective: The study emphasizes that many children show resilience in the face of divorce, adapting well to changes in family structure and dynamics. Reduced Exposure to Conflict: Divorce can remove children from high-conflict environments, reducing emotional distress and allowing them to thrive in more stable and supportive settings. Improved Parent-Child Relationships: Post-divorce, parents may prioritize their children's well-being more effectively, leading to improved relationships and stronger emotional bonds. Development of Coping Skills: Going through divorce can foster the development of coping skills and emotional maturity in children, preparing them to handle adversity later in life. Individualized Attention: In some cases, children may receive more individualized attention from parents post-divorce, which can positively impact their emotional and psychological development. Overall, while divorce can be challenging for children, the study suggests that under certain circumstances, it can lead to positive outcomes such as improved family relationships, reduced stress, and opportunities for personal growth and resilience. These factors contribute to a nuanced understanding of the effects of divorce on children's well-being.

[@gemarcusyana8917]

but now, marriage is becoming a commercial buisness. God also,said..to separate ourself from immorality..and not even eating in the table with them..Therefore,immorality and adultery is ground of divorce

[@jhongamboa8915]

Thank youu ........,Remember: Dont marry someone if you are only happy and not be committed to a marriage contract. Period. You should always remember you only have one game on your console that is marriage. Logic Dont marry if you are not ready to that logic

[@jenoasztalos7658]

Let me to corect you what is about marriage in the bible : There are four grounds for divorce that can be found in the Bible: adultery, desertion, emotional neglect or abuse, material neglect. In every case it was the right of the innocent partner to remarry.

[@TechSavant360]

Dating Punong Mahistrado Hilario Davide Jr. binigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng batas sa diborsyo para protektahan ang mga nasa mapang-abusong kasal. Ayon sa kanya, dapat may legal na opsyon para sa mga nasa distressing na sitwasyon ng pag-aasawa.

[@rommeljedpoli6570]

Huwag kasing mag asawa agad agad kung hindi ka pa sigurado. Hindi laro ang pagbuo ng pamilya.

[@teddygonzalez8098]

Divorce is a legal matter. Do not involve verses from the Bible as a basis because not everyone in the Philippines is Catholic.The Philippines is the only country where divorce is illegal. Divorce is the best way for couples to move on from a failed marriage. I like and respect Chief Justice Davide, but in this case, I disagree. There is too much emphasis on religion as the basis of his argument. Separation of church and state. I'm a Catholic, but I don't believe it's their business to interfere or dictate what's written in our laws.

[@beautifullycreatable]

That us what the title said. Mas marunong ka pa pala sa nag frame ng constitution. Kasama ka rin nong nag frame sila? Ano po ang legal name mo, baka andon ung name mo sa constitution 😊

[@beautifullycreatable]

You had forgotten Vatican. Legal laws are based from moral laws. Kung hindi ka Katoliko, I don't think you understand.

[@wernerschneider4460]

Religion MUST NOT have any base in ANY legal argument.

[@teddygonzalez8098]

@beautifullycreatable Maybe you're not smart when you were a student. What has Vatican has anything to do with the laws in the Philippines? Even in Italy, divorce was legalized in 1974.

[@ANNAANNA-ln5qi]

​@@beautifullycreatablelol maraming katolik countries na may divorce 😂

[@wernerschneider4460]

It is nonsense not to allow people to re-marry after they separated for good. They simply live and have children with others without being married then. I know a good number of cases personally. And "divine law" has no place in a society. Philippines is not a theocracy ruled by the friars. When somebody wants to follow "divine law", then decide not to separate and not to remarry. As simple as that.

[@jonelgeronimo6763]

This is what I hate the most when I hear that our universal rights are being argued based on religion!! Because this is a Divisions. All Religions can and May argue that they have different traditions and customs that may be in favor or anti to a certain topic. If a kiosk happens because we couldn't find common grounds. Who would judge the issue? Is it the judge that is anti or pro Divorce?? Or maybe we bring the issue to the international criminal court of justice since we cant seems to have a fair trial in The Philippines because if the double standards?? What if I don't believe in religion but I believe in God. Can I choose a natural judge to hear my case??

Pero ang katotohanan ay nalibing na sa nakaraan,Pero kahit ang nakaraan ay itago,Ang katotohanan ay magbabalik..Dahil kahit kailan,Ang Para sa Diyos ay Para sa Diyos.Ang kulay natin ay Lupa,Dahil ang Katawan ng buhay na ito ay galing sa kanyang tahanan.Tahanang puno ng iilaw na nagkaroon ng Anino at ang aninong yun ay kadiliman.Ang Diyos ay liwanag.Ang Dilim ay Kailangan ng ilaw upang ito ay magliwanag.Lahat ng buhay,mga bagay dito sa mundo ay may pagkakakilanlan. Isang bagay na pwedeng matawag sa ibat ibang anyo ng salita,Ganun din ang Diyos Ama,Iisa lang sha pero marami shang naging kasaysayan sa Buong Mundo sa ibat ibang uri ng panahon at personalidad.

[@danilomanginga154]

Gusto nila annulment kc pang mayaman wawa ang mga mahirap bkit di payagan wala sila alam s paano nag hiram yung mga nag hiwalay

[@alfonsovaldez2838]

Allow divorce but do not allow remarry.

[@wernerschneider4460]

Nonsense. Then people live together and have children without being married. Is that any better? They already do so now.
