I think it is fair enough that this could materialized. It is not only the family and religion we look at but also for every individual to be happy… the purpose of marriage is to serve being happy… if we are not happy in our marriage then its purpose will be nothing. so its better that there are ways to set others free

i find the woman who proposed this bill as prudent……it’s easy for some to reject the proposal because they have a happy and satisfying marital life….. but how about those who are unfortunate? so selfish this people to confine their stand in their “ideal” point of view… in this country, it’s like second chance to be happy is only for rich people who can afford annulment……if you’re earning minimum wage, suffer in your entire life.

ABAA is certainly trying to look out for the separated and abandoned women but this is definitely not the way to do it. Not only this is demeaning to the definition of marriage but will open up more problems that often and always affect the women and children.

wouldnt it give the men who are not faithful to their marriage an escape? what of those women who would like stay marriage but their husbands are not willing to do so? what would happen to their children?

couples who are in “temporary marriages” basically say that their commitment for one another has an expiration date; that their love and dedication for one another may only be good for ten years…in a relationship that needs commitment, this is one way to ensure its own failure, by entering half-heartedly and always thinking that it will soon expire anyway, with or without children, without regards to the willingness of each other… each other’s promises is only temporary.

This is a very liberating law if enacted, not only because it caters to the needs of most Filipino women caught in marriage at fault but also because it will counteract the “macho image” of most filipino men, because in the Philippines, a man can become like a muslim and have as many women in his life as he wants, and yet the marriage with the first wife cannot be invalidated, especially if the woman has no money to settle unsurmountable legal fees.
I SUPPORT THIS PROPOSED LAW AND I SALUTE 1-ABAA. MARAMING SALAMAT SA INYO. BILISAN NA AT IPASA NA YAN. SALAMAT PO ULIT, JANE ESCONDIDO, AMMAN-JORDAN
