You may want to check Sta. Maria’s book. I think he has a discussion there which says that a person may be psychologically incapacitated to his spouses, but not necessary to another person. Sta. Maria cited the discussions of the Family Code Committee to support his assertion.

Comment on Court Procedure for Nullity of Marriage by Diwata

Diwata — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:10:18 +0000

Hello

I would like to file for annulment but I see a ray of light with filing for nullity of marriage.

We paid a fixer to marry us in Quezon CIty Hall. We were married the same day and I got the marriage certificate with NSO seal from City Hall the next day.
I wonder if I can file for nullity. We did not file for a marriage license at all. All I have is a marriage certificate.

Please advice me.
Thank you kindly.

Comment on The labor code prohibits women from working at night in call centers by Noiram

Atty:

I hope you can help me. My sister and I are both working in a call center environment and we usually go out during the wee hours of the morning. Although we are living in a village, we still have guy neighbors who are drinking at night. They havent done anything save for cat-calls. But just last night, my sister got a clear threat of rape because she was staring at them angrily due to their excessive noise. I’ve search online for any law that could protect us from them acting on this threat, but all i got are laws submitted during the 90s who only have violence-against-women clauses after it has been done to them. Are there any existing laws out there at this day and age that would shield us from imminent danger? something we could use prior to the crime being committed? We are already armed with Mace and tear gas but i just would sleep better knowing we have laws to protect us NOW.

EXISTING LAWS THAT DO NOT APPLY TO US AT THIS POINT
1)ANTI-RAPE LAW REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8353

2)Republic Act No. 7877: An act declaring sexual harassment unlawful in the employment, education or training environment, and for other purposes

3)Republic Act No. 8505: An Act Providing Assistance and Protection for Rape Victims

4)Republic Act No. 9262, otherwise known as “Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004″

I am 5 years separated to my husband and we have only one child and he is now living w/his a mistress w/ one child..I already filed for the concubinage case against them and RA 9262 for the financial support for my daughter…
My evidence is a picture from the friendster account of his mistress and the birth certificate of the their son..Is it enough evidence to prove that their are concubine???Cause I went to their village but no one seems want to help me, according to them there are living together and their neighbors know that my husband and his mistress are married in the other provinces..That’s why i request for the cenomar for the confirmation..
I already talk to their President of the homeowners of their village but she refuse me to give info about their members in the association..She told me that it may conflict their association if she will give an info about my husband and his mistress

What else should i do to prove that there is a concubinage b/in my husband and his mitress?
Is the picture and the birth certificate of his son w/his mistress is not enough evidence to proven that there is a concubinage between them???
Plz help me…
