PWEDE BA KASUHAN ANG KABIT O MISTRESS? PAANO O ANO DAPAT KONG GAWIN?

Pano po pag may kabit yung asawa mo at nagsasama na sila ng kabit nya? Pwede ko po ba sila kasuhan? Ano pwede ko ikaso? Concubinage o Adultery? 

Atsaka, madali lang po ba magpa annul? Paano ba magpa-annul? Wala daw po kasi divorce dito sa Pilipinas, annulment lang.

May kabit ang asawa? Ano'ng ibig sabihin nito? Sila'y nagsasama noong kabit? Binabahay noong asawa ninyo ang kanyang kabit? Ang "asawa" ba ninyo ay lalaki? kasi, sa Pilipinas, magkaiba pa ang batas kriminal na nagpaparusa sa pangangalunya.

Kapag ang asawang babae ang nangalunya, sapat na na makipag-relasyon ang babaeng may-asawa sa ibang lalaki para siya'y makasuhan ng adultery.

Pero, kapag lalaki ang asawa na nangalunya, kailangan pang ipakita na ibinabahay niya ang kanyang karelasyon o di kaya'y sila'y nagsasama, para ang lalaking may-asawa ay makasuhan ng concubinage.

Unfair ba? Talagang unfair. Ang ating mga Kriminal laws ay mga batas pa noong panahon ng mga kastila! 1898 pa ang rebolusyong Pilipino, pero ang batas pa rin ng mga Kastila ang umiiral. 1945 pa tayo'y nakasumpong ng kasarinlan mula sa mga Amerikano, pero, hanggang ngayon, maka-luma pa rin ang ating mga batas.

Bakit? kasi po, mas maraming mga lalaking senador at congressmen, at sila'y hindi kikilos upang baguhin ang batas sapagkat baka sila'y makasuhan kabi-kabila kung gagawin nilang parehas ang mga criminal acts na sukat maging grounds para sa isang kasong kriminal.

Kumuha kayo ng abogado at nang ang inyong karapatan ay maipag-sanggalang.
