- "We want to be free." That's the message of an increasing number of women in the Philippines, who are trapped in marriages they cannot escape. That's because divorce is illegal in the Catholic majority country.
The only other place in the world, where this is the case, is the Vatican.
Calls by activists are growing louder for divorce to be legalized - but they face a powerful opposition. Our next report introduces you to a woman who's been fighting for more than decade to legally be separated from her husband.. and who is slowly losing hope.

People have a hard time grasping the fact that people change in a relationship. Physical and emotional abuse can start years after marriage.
"Emotional abuse"
@@SubvertTheState troll or just emotionally stunted. Maybe both.
@@marshmallowcello7528whatever story you need to tell yourself. Cant ever be uncomfortable or anything.
@@SubvertTheState I grew up in a broken home and so are many others I know. This isn't an isolated case as you make it out to be.
Their political system has a senate, so, no true democracy because promotes extra power to the bigger parties by the senate tool.
We have to realize that some people dont show their true colors before marriage. Once your married and binded together forever without escape they will show their true behaviour
Then dont marry unless you know each other
You will only find out the true color of your spouse once you are cohabitating as husband and wife.
As a Filipino man living in the USA. I think the laws in my country should remain the same! I am never been a fan of Divorce, Child Support, or worse, Alimony! Women over here in the USA are taking full advantage of the family courts even though they are the ones who initiated the divorce themselves and their men are not the abuser. Women over here are promiscuous and Infidelity is running rampant here, all because women are given more rights and privileges than men! If they change the laws to legalize divorce in my country, I can 100% bet plenty of innocent good husbands who are not abusers will suffer and infidelity will be more popular than the Catholics can handle! I say NO to legalizing divorce!
Look at that pretzel. You never went to the US. Just sit down, and zip it.
Without love marriage is a prison, divorce is love for loved ones’ future,and future is hope.
All of that "self love" in the form of alimony, child support and half of the assetts.
Their political system has a senate, so, no true democracy because promotes extra power to the bigger parties by the senate tool.
Divorce is a legal conclusion and separate the assets in a right way..and knows.where the custody
Marriage is poison.
Puro kayo love jan unahon nyo muna mga anak nyo bago layo magmahal ng ibang tao
Nothing like living in the 15th century in 2023
Honoring a contract?
Their political system has a senate, so, no true democracy because promotes extra power to the bigger parties by the senate tool.
I think the video title should be "Why some Filipinos want their country to have a divorce law again?" as we used to have that until 1950s. The annulment law in the Philippines is just like a divorce law but a very expensive & complicated version of it. The annulment case can lasts for 2 years or longer making it more costly but advantageous for the lawyers. Absence of divorce law in PH shows that many lawmakers in PH love hypocrisy, want to please some church leaders who strongly oppose enactment of divorce bill, don't care about the majority who can't afford to spend for an annulment case & many are probably afraid that their spouses will divorce them & the court might order majority of their properties to be given to innocent spouses since the divorce bills submitted before didn't include no-fault divorce.
Im one of the filipina who filed for annullment and because of lack of evidence my annullment was denied,we file a motion for reconsideration to reverse the decision and now i am waiting for the decision...
So stressful this annullment our law here is not fair ,how we can move on if we still used the surname of our husband...
Omg..I feel you situation sis thats why I am.afraid to file Annulment then later on sometime you are scam
Hi mam mg file din po ako ngyun October na curious po ako Anu po evidence and need Ng court na henhenge po pra. M approved po nla ?
hay naku! nung kinan*** ka d mo inisip mga bagay na yan. ngayon iiyak iyak ka dyan? hay naku kakati nyo😂
I worked in a law office for five years and filing an annulment costs a million worth of filings, pleadings, appearance fee, acceptance fee and attorney's fee even paying for a psychological report by psychologists but it's doesn't mean that you'll be granted. Worse, it takes several years if you are going to appeal with the higher court after being denied.
I would agree with this report!
PS: No wonder how other Filipinos did some shortcuts in a illegal manner.
Yes true cause we are desperate to have freedom its so hard to get justice in our country if you don't have money

Are you familiar with the adage, 'It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer'? By extension, I believe it's preferable for ten individuals to divorce for trivial reasons than for one person with valid grounds to be denied the opportunity to divorce. This analogy underscores the importance of ensuring that those in abusive or intolerable situations have the freedom to seek divorce, akin to safeguarding the rights of the innocent, while acknowledging the complexity of divorce decisions in different circumstances.
@@GoreGahan then don’t marry.
@@GerbsCE Imagine if we applied your logic to other aspects of life. Would we advise against starting a business because there's a risk of failure? Or discourage people from pursuing their dreams because there's a chance they might not succeed? Just as in marriage, where love and commitment are the driving forces, life is full of risks, but it's the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment that makes it worthwhile. Instead of avoiding marriage altogether because of the possibility of divorce, we should focus on supporting healthy relationships and providing resources for those who find themselves in difficult situations.
There is one additional way some Filipinos obtain divorces. That way is where a Filipino citizen obtains residency or citizenship in another country and obtains a divorce there. If so, that Filipino can legally remarry in another country if only have residency in that country. If they have citizenship, they can remarry in the Philippines based on a valid overseas divorce. Various celebrities have done this but need to have some money. Annulment, Philippines style, is very expensive and time consuming and so is largely limited to the wealthy and privileged there. This is an area of law urgently needing reform. The current bills before the Congress are largely modelled on the former Senator Santiago`s model which is in part fault based and in part minimum separation period based. The proposed law is therefore conservative in contrast to countries like Australia where divorce is not fault based. Just 12 months separation required to show marriage breakdown.
Most Philippines are living in poverty and dont the funds to travel abroad become a citizen and then pay for a divorce. That's expensive
@@LSmoney215 That is why I wrote "some". Most Filipinos do live in poverty as you say, so neither legal option is available to them. That is why divorce must be introduced.
This is true! If one person granted divorce, the other must file judicial recognition of foreign divorce!
So divorce is possible, but only for rich. That is hypocrisy.
You are not 100% correct. It is possible to travel to the U.S. as a tourist. Then go to Nevada for six weeks and get a divorce provided you plan to get married to someone in the U.S. You get have a divorce finalized in Nevada on Saturday and get married in California on Sunday. So, no you do not need to be a resident or Citizen -- at least not in the United States.
Anullment is not the same as divorce. It's worse. Anullment is what the Roman Catholic Church has in stead of divorce, but it is not equivalent. It means that the court declares that your marriage never existed. For that, it needs a "proof", and that can be difficult to provide. But saying that the marriage never existed is a lie in most cases. When people marry, they often marry for love. And the marriage is real. When their love disapear, it does not mean they never loved each other. The concept of anullment force people to claim what is not true: to claim that the marriage never existed. The people are forced to lie. And then the court also lies, because it also claims what is not true. And when it is a religious court, then it is a lie before God. That make anullment actuallly anti-religious. Anullment makes lots of harm by forcing people to lie. That is why divorce should be legal everywhere.
One of the possible "poofs" which the Church acknowledge for claiming the marriage never existed is that it was involuntary. That means that the woman in the video is actually one of the rare cases when annullment is possible, even by the strict rules of the church. The fact that it was denied to her is another proof how unjust the Philipino system is and how desperatlelly the country needs to legalize divorces.
@@samuela-aegisdottir there is a child, therefor the church will neither grant Anullment or divorce
Isn’t divorce lying when vows are exchanged to honor each other, “in sickness and in health, till death do you part”? 🤔
annulment is woke law divorce is a real law..
I need to be free I'm separated for 11years already so please be legal the divorce
I feel so bad for her. I hope she finds peace and love.
They should separate church from state. A secular state wouldn't have that that problem.
Then why marry in a church, by a priest. People want to be celebrated by everyone, swear vows before God, be recognized by the State and everyone they know as married. Until their "feelings" change, now it should be easy for someone to change their mind?
@@SubvertTheState Not all marriages are under a religion, i didn't get married under one so your argument doesn't work
@@SubvertTheState "now it should be easy for someone to change their mind?"
Yes obviously it should be easy for someone to change their mind, that is what happens in reality all the time.
@@SubvertTheState not sure if just civil marriages exist in the Philippines
@@SubvertTheStateA church wedding is just a civil wedding with extra frills. It's nothing special.
They should change marrige law not divorce law
Legalizing divorce will start the degradation of family values…. Annulment should be granted after physical abuse ( with police and medical records) , infidelity, forced or under a threat marriage and abandonment ( 2 years)…. People sometimes divorce just because their spouse snore a lot or have different goals in life….
how is the government able to overrule a court's marriage anullment?
Because under the Constitution, the State is mandated to protect the sanctity of marriage. To do this, the Solicitor General puts up challenges against any petition for legal separation. Currently, there are only two options in dissolving marriages in the Philippines: annulment and legal separation.
@@ronnelacido1711 However, legal separation doesn't make you to be remarried. Our law is now absurd!
@@seikimachan you want to remarried?
@@svv123 NO‼️I am not married actually‼️

Don't do it. I support allowing people to end marriages due to abuse, but people shouldn't be allowed to divorce for any reason. Once you make the commitment towards marriage, you must understand that it's a lifelong commitment that can only be broken under the most extreme circumstances like abuse.
god you are so behind the real world
She's hiding information in that polling! Yes, most Filipinos are okay with divorce under certain circumstances, such as, abuse. Not like in the west where you can divorce for whatever reason.
Western women will divorce because of the sky being grey, marriage has lost its meaning here
Same story of love life 😢... Hoping and praying divorce will be legalize... Seeking it for 21yrs.
Ana santos, thank you. Just wanted to add, catholic church is against divorce but during the pandemic, when a lot of people cant travel back to their provinces. Did these churches provided help or food to those jeepney drivers who just slept in their jeepneys?
This is why I'm scared of marrying, there is no divorce here. And I can't marry the man I love because he is still legally bound to his ex wife. So annoying.
do not marry
See, it is the opposite here, I am afraid because half of marriages end in divorce, and they dont have to say a reason why. Marriage has lost its meaning completely because of this
Very toxic law as Filipino I got Scammed 😢
Filipin should do revolution mental, ppls there should brave to speak up on media. Make it viral on social media, Let everyone in this world know, so that the government there is ashamed. If it goes viral, the government will definitely handle it quickly, trust me. That's how it works nowadays, if it goes viral, it will definitely be handled quickly
there's annulment, no need to divorce
Please divorce
Divorce is a basic human right. There must be a way out of a toxic, bad marriage.
Sure. But there should be an ethical basis and not a hedonistic intent.
because annulment is very costly here in the Philippines if the annulment the way is not expensive and short term process only . the more the long term and expensive .the people will be having trauma from financially and depress for waiting for the papers .
Yes to divorce

A devout Catholic marrying a Hindu Indian and live where?
Let her renounce Filipino citizenship in favor of foreign one so, both of you could marry!
@@seikimachan but how would she be able to get India citizenship if she renounces Filipino citizenship im very patiently waiting for divorce to be legal in Philippines.
@@basharatahmadkhan4601 Then she must live with you in India for few years. Just follow the laws there. If she becomes naturalized Indian and subsequently renounced her Filipino citizenship, she can for divorce in India so, she could marry you. The other party, his former husband, will file his petition for judicial recognition of foreign divorce to nullify their marriage.
The process time of Judicial Recognition of Foreign Divorce is shorter than Annulment. Your woman must obtain a divorce paper and have it consularized in both Indian and Philippine Embassy before give it to his former husband. Be sure that she is already Indian citizen and no longer a Filipino.
That's the only way for Filipinos to obtain divorce by renouncing their citizenship by birth in favor of obtaining any foreign citizenship.
Disclaimer: This is based when I became a legal secretary in a law office about 11 years ago.
@@seikimachan unfortunately she cannot become an Indian citizen by the process of naturalization as she need to spent at least 7 years in India which is impossible on a tourist visa and a long stay visa can only be granted if she applies for the intention of marriage in the marriage registrar's office with me . Which she wont be able to as to do so she needs to get NOC from Filipino embassy and The Embassy wont give NOC cuz she is already in the married records of the country.

The church isn‘t about „love“.
It‘s about control. Which is why everybody should think twice before they demand that religions should have more power over our laws!
We KNOW that theocracies are horrible! But some people just don‘t want to learn.
depend on which Church you mean
the false cult churches i would expect this , however the Real Church that has been called out of Ignorance isn't about that
i would suggest doing some research before you post this again
The laws are based on values. That is our value. Until it isn't, these laws remain. Maybe in another 10 years. There are less religious persons in the Phil, much like the rest of the world. There's no political influence.
Our body is not separate from our soul. When that happens, the person is usually dead. When a person separates his sould from his body while still breathing, he is basically a zombie.
they use the name of God and bible to manipulate the people in the Philippines so they can excuse the solution..they are suggesting annulment but they dont help even one peso
It was a big problem here in Philippines I want the divorce legalised here so that I could be free from my fail marriage
kati lang yan😂
You shouldn’t have gotten married in the first place then.
the bottom line is, S.X is necessary or essential for the society to survive, while Marriage is conventional but only given importance because of hypocritical in/doctrination. Marriage establishes order in the society and so has to regulate relationship including S.X, but marriage is not absolute across time and life. The point is, divorce is likewise necessary in order to give a formal exit to marriage (being conventional) when it does not work anymore or does undermine the welfare of any in the family. There is no need any more to prove about psychological incapacity, etc.; there is no more need to make a lie or pretensions anymore just to avail annulment in court. When marriage does not work anymore, it is done, unless both are willing to give it a second chance under a favorable circumstance. Further, divorce should not be as dramatic as annulment, for in divorce bill, psychological intervention is part of in the transition framework towards a re-energized life. Yes, there is fear/doubt in marriage as well as in divorce, and the success of someone's relationship does not justify the continued curse of someone else's life. The question of expenses or to the eternal vow of marriage is superficial against the primary necessity of S.X and happiness of each in the society.
If divorce didn’t inevitably lead to the family destroying disaster that is no fault divorce I suspect there wouldn’t be as much pushback against it.
But there definitely needs to be something in place for these marriages where there is clear and obvious abandonment or abuse, and it shouldn’t be paywalled behind hundreds of thousands in legal fees.
If politicians don't want to do it, can they have the people decide it via referendum?
legal separation makes a lot of sense. wish that was more prevalent in the states where people divorce each other for money all the time
I am a Filipino but I am not pro catholic,, why am I suffer just because I am not islam!
Is the philippines so superior or more morals compared with all the countries have divorce?
Nobody really talks about this in the philippines. I think because only few complains. Many just makes their marriage work.
@@billyjavier646 if so, good for them. How about others not?
@@billyjavier646its because marriage is not always about happiness. All couples even say that in their vows. If a person is not into fulfilling whatever they say on that vow dont marry.

The options is to point out the church short comings like sexual abuses committed so to lessen there moral correctness
OK OK NO DIVORCE.... BUT CAN YOU JUST ENFORCE CHILD SUPPORT LAWS AND GO AFTER THE MILLIONS OF DEADBEAT FILIPINOS...
Why not make annulment cheap.....
Make the annulment grounds include the following: abandonment, infidelity, physical and verbal abused, emotional abused, separation of at least 2 years, non financial support for family, vices such as alcoholism, gambling, addiction to illegal drugs, deception that may affect the relationship and marriage to work. Make the annulment inexpensive, affordable to all. Have more family courts in every provinces that will handle divorces cases only and make the process faster from the time of filing to final dispositions of the case.

This is the choice of the majority, People in the Philippines always voted for those people in SENATE specifically. Shout out to Sen. Villanueva, Who also drags the SOGIE bill passing. Eck. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Sadly abolished in 1998, but certainly the oddest one…
Paragraph 1300 BGB, the “Kranzgeld”.

On which country??
Germany 😂😂😂
That was a law from medievial times.."Ius primae noctis" was another one like this. Or the inquisition. Contrary to the Philipines, Germany got out of the dark ages. The "Kranzgeld" was abolished because german ladies are educated, self aware and equal to german males. We find a woman still "honorable" after what you descibed. My question to you is : is a man still honorable after having sex with a woman he is not married to?

This report was biased.
DW presented an emotive case and then misrepresented Catholicism. It presented an anti-Catholic pro-divorce commentator but not any representative from the Catholic Church.
Annulment is not against Catholic values.
It actually was not the Catholic Church that was preventing annulment in the reported case; it was the state. In Catholicism, it is not supposed to be the state that grants or refuses annulments, it should be the Church itself.
Attacking the news media again. You say it is not the Catholic Church when in fact legislation for Reproductive Health Bill was so contentious because of the catholic priests who have been intrusive all of these years.

There are several ways that are used in the Philippines. There is annulment, nullity of marriage and legal separation. The problem is, legislators should at least strengthen these laws. We can afford not to have divorce, but at least a semblance of it

Yes to divorce bill..go go 💯💯agree for divorce bill👌👌👌👊👊👊👍👍
You shouldn’t show the guys photo - or her full face. Adultery is illegal in PH and both can go to jail.
Wrong. The law states only the husband or wife can bring this to court. Everyone in the Philippines can know you are committing adultery and they do not have the right to put you in jail.
So if the husband is such an evil abuser, why isnt she in jail?
Lets be honest: the problem is not divorce. The problem is marriage. It is an outdate ceremony that simply does not fit modern society. Thats why so many marriages fail. What constitutes a relationship and family in 2023 is totally different than what it was back in biblical days. GET rid of marriage and then there is no need for divorce. When the love ends you simply go your separate ways.
stop forcing other countries to adapt western culture and mindset. your idea of progress is not always the same with others. Look at all the single parent families and their relations to increase risk of the child growing up and getting involved in crimes and other acts of violence. The significant majority of marriages in the Philippines are not dysfunctional. By this point in time you must realize that other countries have their own values that they wanted to uphold and protect!
Stop imposing your secular values on other countries.
Its the Church its the church its the church ITS THE CHURCH !
Religion nothing to do with abusive husband
abusive spouse has mental issues. Religion won't teach a person to be abusive.
Philippines will never be a developing country forever.
Wow! Now I know that one country is stupier than Russia! :)))
My friend wanted to marry a Filipina who was abandoned by her husband They went to the church to try to get a annulment the priest refused my friend told me the Priest was as gay as the queen of diamonds.
Your friend must file a petition for nullity of marriage before lower court
If you are in the U.S. it is straightforward. If the woman can get a tourist visa she can go to the U.S. and establish residency in Nevada (takes 6 weeks). She can legally file for divorce as a tourist provided she is planning on getting married to an American. Get divorced in Nevada then bingo, marry an American. I dated a Filipina lawyer -- who was married and she mapped it all out.
Sleep around and accept your choices.
Just dont go full dumb and do No Fault divorce
Philippines follows God’s laws not catholic. Marriage only cutoff if one will die. Disobedience to this law of God which is also the law that brings the nations causes curses in whole of your life . God hate divorce, separation is allowed till there is restoration healing.
The Philippines is predominantly a Catholic country, and the influence of the Catholic Church has played a significant role in shaping its laws and societal norms, including those related to marriage and divorce. The Catholic Church views marriage as a sacred and lifelong union, and divorce is generally considered to be contrary to these beliefs. The lack of a divorce law in the Philippines has been a subject of debate and discussion regarding human rights, particularly concerning women. Some argue that the absence of accessible divorce options can potentially infringe upon women's rights in various ways.
Trapped in abusive relationships: Without a divorce law, individuals, including women, may find themselves trapped in abusive or unhappy marriages, with limited legal means to escape such situations. This can have negative implications for their safety, well-being, and overall human rights.
Inequality and discrimination: The strict marriage dissolution laws can be seen as contributing to gender inequality and discrimination. In cases where women face unequal power dynamics or are subjected to abuse within their marriages, the absence of divorce as a viable option can perpetuate these imbalances and deny them equal protection under the law.
Economic implications: Divorce can have significant financial consequences, particularly for women who may face challenges in terms of employment, income, and property ownership after a marriage ends. The lack of divorce options can exacerbate financial burdens and limit their ability to rebuild their lives independently.
The patriarchal societal structure and existing gender inequalities in the Philippines can perpetuate harmful attitudes and behaviors that contribute to the mistreatment of women.
very well said👍🏼👏👏👏
don't change law,,,, if you legalize divorce, men will be responsible financially to care for children.... that would hurt the man...haha.... no divorce equals poverty and to many babies born to mistresses...
that's why the child support law should be strenghten in conjunction with divorce law.
Annulment case is a source of income to....😅😅😅😅
some lawyers!😁😁😁
Im not religious but marriage without divorce makes the marriage even more meaningful. What are they thinking? They said," Till death do us part". That is no joke. The woman's story is a lesson for young people, to think first before getting married.
People being trapped in an unhealthy relationship doesn't do anyone any good. Outside of religion, marriage is simply a legal contract. The idea of a contract that can't end, can't be altered, and can't be broken (with penalties, of course) is anathema to the rule of law.
I never got married because I wasn't going to make that commitment.
While not very religious ( certainly against organized religion)
I kind of uncomfortable straight up lieing to God ( in case there is one)
Amen 🙏🏾 bro

@@krol09. Purpose of marriage is for the child. Not for the happiness of woman or man. Real world is not a cinderalla story.

WHO trapped them?
WHO provided what information to whom, what did they trust in that information, and what was actually different?
WHO feed them?
WHERE is your brain?
@@Ass_of_Amalek Don't reply to me Mr. bot🤮
What are you going on about? They're trapped because the state doesn't want to allow them to move on with their lives. The rules are very husband-centric and women are usually left out in the cold.
@@tahbleto This video and your replies are so bad for me.
What have you been studying about history and Law about Asia?
FYI
日本国憲法
The Constitution of Japan
昭和二十一年十一月三日憲法
Constitution November 3, 1946
第二十四条婚姻は、両性の合意のみに基いて成立し、夫婦が同等の権利を有することを基本として、相互の協力により、維持されなければならない。
Article 24.Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes and it shall be maintained through mutual cooperation with the equal rights of husband and wife as a basis.
配偶者の選択、財産権、相続、住居の選定、離婚並びに婚姻及び家族に関するその他の事項に関しては、法律は、個人の尊厳と両性の本質的平等に立脚して、制定されなければならない。
With regard to choice of spouse, property rights, inheritance, choice of domicile, divorce and other matters pertaining to marriage and the family, laws shall be enacted from the standpoint of individual dignity and the essential equality of the sexes.
Just leave the Philippines for what its traditionaly believe, filipino are happy knowing that we are secure to our parners, thats what make us unique.
This is one of the last places on earth where marriage still has actual meaning
Once divorce becomes a legal, then marriage becomes meaningless
When the marriage is abusive, then it is meaningless.
@@marshmallowcello7528 "emotional abuse" "financial abuse" well now "abuse" has no meaning
By your logic life has no meaning, because life ends. Marriage can still have meaning, even when it ends (divorce).
Their political system has a senate, so, no true democracy because promotes extra power to the bigger parties by the senate tool.
@@SubvertTheState look up what abuse actually means rather than being an annoying online contrarian.
If you allow divorce in PH u will have 1 million divorces a day 😅😅😂😂..
Dovirce must never be allowed
That’s so true
So you'll just let the ones in unhappy marriages out hung to dry? Are you mad?
So what?
@@marshmallowcello7528 My ex and I broke up because she wasn't "Happy". Both of her cats died within 3 weeks and she lost her job within 2 months. "Happy" is a fleeting emotion that HAPPENS to you. Your spouse isnt supposed to MAKE you be happy. Theyre supposed to NEVER leave. If she got cancer and he left because thats not fun or HAPPY...Everyone would have words about "Vows" then.
So you'll just allow abusive and unhappy marriages to continue?
No to Divorce!
Annulment is already legal.
Too much freedom!
No to Divorce ❤❤❤
