If you would ask me if I would agree to the legalization of divorce as a student and as a daughter whose parents are not married, my answer is not that clear. In some points, I would agree, but then also in some points, I won’t.
I agree with it because, just like the reasons above; physical abuse, loss and transfer of affection. Some men are abusing their children and their wife. Loss and transfer of affection of women with their husband. The woman gets sick with their husband; they find another man whom they are not sick of. In these cases, the woman or the man will be forced to end their marriage and be separated for good.
I also disagree with it because, if you filed a divorce, you’ll be breaking a promise of “For richer, for poorer. In sickness and in health. `Till death do us part.” A promise, you once promised in front of the altar, in the church with many witness, including the priest and your parents. Another thing is, before you get married; make sure that you already know the person you want to be committed with for the rest of your life.
If I would ask you, would you agree or would you disagree to the legalization of Divorce in thePhilippines? If I would ask you, you as a teenager with a complete and happy family, would you agree? If I would ask you, you as a student, would you rather agree or would you disagree? Different opinions matter in this stuff. Opinions that might be right for this controversial topic.
To all of us, before we say “Till death do us part”, let us first know the attitude of our partner. Let us wait for the right time to come. For the right person to come in our life. God has prepared the perfect person for us to be with, without having any arguments. Let us not rush for marriage. Everything has its right time.
“But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.” - Matthew 5:32
