Divine Law in the OT : 

Divine Law in the OT Deuteronomy 5:21   21Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Divine Law in the OT : 

Divine Law in the OT God’s view towards marriage is very sacred. A married couple is obliged to love and be with one another for the rest of their lives. Can only be achieved with true, deep, affectionate love for each other.

Divine Law in the OT : 

Divine Law in the OT Deuteronomy 24:1  1When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

Divine Law in the OT : 

Divine Law in the OT Common misconception: divorce is strictly and ultimately prohibited by God. There are grounds on which divorce is actually biblically acceptable. God gave instances where it could be a reasonable alternative.

Divine Law in the NT : 

Divine Law in the NT 1 Corinthians 7:10-17"And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches."

Divine Law in the NT : 

Divine Law in the NT Divorce is discouraged. But if it is the final and only solution to a broken marriage, then it can be permitted for the sake of the persons involved.

Divine Law in the NT : 

Divine Law in the NT Matthew 19:3-93 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?"4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator `made them male and female,' 5 and said, `For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." 7 "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Divine Law in the NT : 

Divine Law in the NT Jesus says that God intended man and woman to stay married permanently and that divorce is not part of God’s plan. His take on divorce is that, unless there is a case of marital unfaithfulness, it is not acceptable, as expressed in the earlier OT passage. This solidifies the biblical idea that marriage is a very sacred sacrament. Also, it echoes that love and faithfulness are two of the most basic foundations of marriage.

Catholic Teachings : 

Catholic Teachings Catechism of the Catholic Church (Part 3, Life in Christ, Section 2, Article 6, Divorce) “Par.2383 The separation of spouses while maintaining the marriage bond can be legitimate in certain cases provided for by canon law.176”

Catholic Teachings : 

Catholic Teachings Familiaris Consortio 20, Part of Par.1 and Par.5 “Conjugal communion is characterized not only by its unity but also by its indissolubility" “The gift of the sacrament is at the same time a vocation and commandment for the Christian spouses”

Catholic Teachings : 

Catholic Teachings The covenant of love and unity cannot be broken. Marriage is a sacred bond, bestowed with God’s grace. Should be fostered and protected at all times. There are times when separation is the only solution. This will not constitute a moral offense.

Civil Law : 

Civil Law Executive Order No. 209, FAMILY CODE OF THE PHIL., Title: Marriage. Art. 44. If both spouses of the subsequent marriage acted in bad faith, said marriage shall be void ab initio and all donations by reason of marriage and testamentary dispositions made by one in favor of the other are revoked by operation of law.

Civil Law : 

Civil Law Annulment. Highly discouraged; can only be filed under extreme conditions in Article 45. Value of FAITHFULNESS = basis for a successful and happy marriage.

Natural Law : 

Natural Law We are all obliged to act in a way that recognizes our being relational.

Natural Law : 

Natural Law We become our fullest selves through relationships. Marriage signifies the permanent bond. Acts that attempt to separate that bond are against the point of marriage. Separation ruins the foundation of families and love. Only as a last resort.

Proposed Solutions : 

Proposed Solutions

Proposed Solutions : 

Proposed Solutions Be sensitive to those who come from broken families. People who have undergone such serious situations such as separation of parents go through a lot of emotional burden. The least we can do is to comfort them amongst this difficult trial of theirs. We should avoid from unintentionally hurting their feelings with unnecessary remarks.

Proposed Solutions : 

Proposed Solutions Be a good son. Children play a huge part in the life of a family. They more often than not symbolize the way their parents have been treating them. By showing your parents that you love them, you also show appreciation for all their efforts in raising you up together.
