..absOlUtE sEpArAtiOn..

Marriage is perhaps the highest form of relationship among human beings. Marriage, as defined in article one of the family code of the Philippine constitution, is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life.

Annulment of marriage is a situation of where married couples are separated because of some internal conflicts as being a joined couple. In annulment, a couple would be considered legally separated from one another but still you have some complications to fulfill to your spouse even that you are no longer considered as a couple. Another issue arose from the ideas of couples who no longer want to be connected in any way with his or her previous spouse, an issue called now as absolute divorce. In absolute divorce, any member of a separated couple would be no longer connected with one another, any member of a separated couple would be allowed to remarry again and start a new conjugal and married life. Not one of the separated couple is required to strive for his or her previous spouse; they are no longer string-attached with each other.

Absolute divorce is one big social issue that our heads would be dealing, whether if we would agree or not on the implementing the legality of such act. We ourselves are not sure of what the society could possibly do if such level of separation would be allowed? A person could marry someone one after another if he or she has enough reason to commit such infidelity. If any couple would be separated for just any reason, such acts would undergo the so-called situation as breach of contract. A marriage contains some conditions that should be followed and one of which is eternal fidelity, faithfulness to your loved even at good times or bad times. An absolute divorce is a contradiction to staying faithful to one person. Being married to someone else is one big sign of infidelity. Not a single person stays faithful to someone after being attached with someone else. This situation is what we sometimes call of an act of lust, lustful emotions that could destroy the conjugal and family life of a joined couple. Absolute divorce is not yet implemented by our country’s constitution since this social issue need more time to make a decision that would be for good at all aspects.

A life of marriage with someone is not just a game you play during your childhood. You are already an adult when you get married and therefore must be responsible in every thing you are engaging your life with. Perhaps the reason why marriage is not allowed for minors is that teenagers have mixed emotions. Their emotions could change any moment of their life. Getting into an intimate relationship like marriage should be for those that are a hundred percent sure of their decision. Unmarried couples should try reaching longer time with each other exposing themselves to countless obstacles to prove whether they are already ready to engage in a conjugal and married life with only one person in their life.
