Divorce bill, next?

I wont mind divorce, Literally we are the only country left with no divorce. I think divorce should be legalized but with restrictions, We shouldn't have the Las Vegas wedding type of divorce , we should have divorce if one of the couple s already abusive or have commitment issues and if the couple have been separated for a long time as in years.

Its a no no way for divorce bill because I don't like issues especially showbiz couples doing a divorce. I will do like Philippines without divorce country.

I had no idea what the RH bill was and had to look it up. Now I understand the situation because this is obviously in direct conflict with the Catholic doctrine, as is the concept of divorce. This type of situation of conflicting attitudes will always exist between governments and religion because they have different objectives to consider. The government has to consider practicality and the effects of circumstances on the economy, financial resources and a myriad of other factors, whereas the Church will always adhere to ideological standards and insist that wrong is wrong whatever the benefits. I expect that the legislation will be passed, possibly after some amendments, and in time the arguments will subside and it will be left to the individual members of the public to decide which route to follow.

I heard that the legislators are not that keen on this proposed bill as there is only one party list who is endorsing this and many congressmen and senators are not too serious tackling this bill as of yet. I think for the coming months they would be busy campaigning in their own turfs once again.

Divorce will be a great issue but it might bring benefits for those who wants to start lives anew after a falling out. People wants happiness and this is a welcome recourse

I think I'd prefer the Freedom of Information bill to be passed first. The divorce bill isn't really important right now just yet.

Ah, yeah, now we can expect this to be happening anytime soon.. but this will take more than heated discussions. i think this would truly devastate our church, catholic church and even the christian churches as many still do value family as whole and would not want to be seeing an opportunity for this to be otherwise. The thing is our country is not free from separated parents, the thing is many are separated already, but they are just not filing this separation and so we do not know the true statistics of the number of families that were broken.

I think we have to embrace the coming of years and that we have to accept that we are no longer living in the dark shadows of our forefathers. That some people does not have a healthy marriage and even the Catholic church already advices to their parishioners that if you are no longer happy with your marriage life and that it already causes abnormalities in your life, then, you can leave it. So with it, I think we have to open our minds also that people need it in order to move on.

this is something that the church should be wary of next year. hahaha. actually, i'm favor of divorce. there are people trapped in a marriage and they can't escape because annulment is very expensive and it takes really long time to finish. i think there should just be proper regulations to assure that the rights of both the husband and the wife will be protected.
