Ang problema sa Pinas, kahit kaninong lawyer ka pa magpunta, sasabihin nila sayo is WALA pang lalaking nakulong dahil sa pambababae.
This. I have to find out, kung meron na ba talaga nakulong sa bigamy. Kasi when I consulted my lawyer some 4 years ago, wala pa. Sabi nga sakin, if I want to minimize my lawyer's fees, better just file nalang an annulment. Kung mag criminal case ka pa, katakot takot na oras and money ang kelangan mo gugulin. It is a lost case, if it is in the Phils because of its lousy laws and judicial system.
The problem with a case of bigamy or concubinage. - it's only the wife that can file this. Not even the aggrieved/neglected/abandoned legitimate children can file.
It isn't that no man has gone to jail yet, but that the wives don't have the strength or motivation, money, & /XOR time to see the filed cases to the end.
And... Most guilty men will offer the wife whatever it takes (or intimidate/shame her) to drop the case.
IMO, anger can fuel a wronged wife only so far. Eventually, our grinds-exceedingly-slow justice system defeats her. ... then she just decides to walk away, better to focus her energy, time & resources to moving on.
Mixed in there somewhere, the emo/cultural burden of hiya/humiliation . I can see why it's easier to go for annulment, or just to walk away.
That's why where as you say, there's effing around every corner -- Divorce may help us better manage our commitment responsibilities and put order into exit clauses.
GIRLTALKER2, tama ka -- it is easier to land a philanderer in jail for "falsified public document" (12 years in jail) than for bigamy or concubinage.
awww.. ang alam ko lang rin pag caught in the act.sila nagsesex dun talaga pwede ipakulong...
Ahh, if one is sooo lucky as to catch them in the act -- one should be prepared for seizing rare opportunities. Ano'ng caso-caso pa? Upakan mo na right there and there, end their lives. Hahaha. "Eh kasi, Judge, nandilim ang paningin ko... I blacked out... Etc etc". Crime of passion. "Not guilty!"
. kaya pala si exwife ni derek ebidensya yung paglivein nila ni angelica p.
Teka, Teka.. My limited legal knowledge tells me: a married man can land in jail for 2 things: bigamy (another marriage contract), or concubinage ( binahay his gf/kab1tch).
So, yung kay Derek Ramsay & Angelica -- that's alleged concubinage?? as presented by his wife (hindi ex-wife kasi no annulment )
This isn't about Derek Ramsey......
A man caught in such circumstances may say the wife is just after money. Haha well, why not? A wife always minds her children's future. Do you think she's after him as for himself? Who'd want a husband who prefers to be elsewhere? Love cannot be forced, of course. But paternal responsibilities can be forced.
