It's a good question. There is a conflict of laws, which means that two countries courts have taken different resolutions. Our countries recognize the possibility of divorce and this became a bit like a right. They can marry again.
But situations of the validity of another's country laws are very conflictive. I've read in the newspapers the cases of parents accused to kidnap their own children because a court of their country decided to gave one of them their custody, and another's country court decided the opposite. Now an spanish woman is searched by the FBI for that reason. She appeared in TV but there are a lot of people in that situation, like that woman who escaped from Iran with her daughter.
Yep. It's interesting that muslim countries have not exactly divorce laws, but something alike. And other countries have divorce laws caused by fault, not purely volunteer.
But when one of the married is foreigner, these laws can't impede a divorce in another's country court.
Despite civil marriage being introduced in 1975, no provision was made for divorce except for the recognition of divorces granted by foreign courts. Legislation introducing divorce came into effect in October 2011 following the result of a referendum on the subject earlier in the year. It provides for no-fault divorce, with the marriage being dissolved through a Court judgement following the request of one of the parties, provided the couple has lived apart for at least four years out of the previous five and adequate alimony is being paid or is guaranteed.
The same law made a number of important changes regarding alimony, notably through extending it to children born of marriage who are still in full-time education or are disabled and through protecting alimony even after the Court pronounces a divorce.
Philippines
Philippine law, in general, does not provide for divorce inside the Philippines. The only exception is with respect to Muslims, who are allowed to divorce in certain circumstances. For those not of the Muslim faith, the law only allows annulment of marriages. Article 26 of the Family Code of the Philippines does provide that Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law.
It can be said, instead, that Filipinos (Catholic or not) have an aversion to divorce as they view the family to be sacrosanct and that divorce, in their perception, is absolutely destructive of this. General Filipino perception of divorce is based on the "no-fault" divorce prevalent in some US states which, in their view, is absurd since a divorce (or a separation of partners, at the least) should only be considered if there is a breach in the marriage and not the "whimsical" drive of no-fault divorces. Women's group has clamored for divorce to be made legal but all attempts to ratify it into law have failed in the past. Filipino law, as stated above, does make some concession to Muslims, though.
I just said that the Dodo lasted until some centuries ago, after the Ice Age. The Terror Birds didn't, and if they would survived probably would be killed by humans because there were not enough place for both extremely dangerous species (us and them).
