Philippines Poised to Pass Groundbreaking Divorce Law
Historic Legislation Nears Final Approval
Years of Advocacy Culminate in Landmark Vote
After countless failed attempts, the Philippines is on the cusp of enacting a groundbreaking divorce law. In a historic vote, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved an absolute divorce bill on its third and final reading, clearing the way for its passage into law.
For decades, divorce has been a contentious issue in the Philippines, with religious groups and conservative lawmakers fervently opposing it. However, the overwhelming public support for divorce, coupled with the persistent efforts of advocates, has finally paved the way for this landmark legislation.
The passage of the bill represents a significant milestone in the country's legal and social landscape. It will provide much-needed relief to countless individuals trapped in broken and abusive marriages. The absolute divorce bill will allow for the dissolution of marriages without the need to prove fault, enabling individuals to move forward with their lives with dignity and autonomy.
