After weeks of plenary debates, the bill allowing absolute divorce in the Philippines has been approved by the House of Representatives.House Bill 9349, or the Absolute Divorce Act, sponsored by Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, calls for a fourth mode of terminating what he described as “irreparably broken or dysfunctional” marriages in the country.
According to Lagman, absolute divorce would allow estranged couples a second chance at marital bliss. It is also designed not to be exploited for “Las Vegas , notarial, email and drive-through” divorces which are allowed in other countries, particularly in the United States. The House bill points out that “the option of absolute divorce is a pro-woman legislation because in most cases, it is the wife who is entitled to a divorce as a liberation from an abusive relationship and to help her regain dignity and self-esteem.”
