May kaso ba ang misis na may ibang boyfriend?

Ayon po sa ating Batas Kriminal (Revised Penal Code), krimen ang "adultery." Ito po ang pakikipagtalik ng isang kasal na babae sa ibang lalaki na hindi niya asawa. Kulong po ang abot ng inyong misis kapag napatunayan ninyo ito sa korte.

Maliban po sa aksyong kriminal, maari rin po kayong humingi ng danyos sa inyong asawa at sa boyfriend niya. Maaari po ninyong makumbinsi ang korte na kailangan kayong bayaran ng dalawang ito dahil sa hirap at sakit na dinanas ng inyong kalooban, kasabay ng iba pang mga "injuries" na inyong naranasan.

Bilang panghuli, maaari po kayong mag-file ng kaso for "legal separation." Hindi po mapawawalang bisa ang inyong kasal pero puwede po kayong bigyan ng karapatan ng korte na lumayo sa inyong asawa, itigil ang inyong suporta sa kaniya, makuha ang kotodiya sa inyong anak at iba pang mga bagay na kinakailangan para kayo ay mabigyan ng hustisiya.

Para po makakuha kayo ng ekspertong payo, maaaring magpunta sa pinakamalapit na Public Attorney's Office (PAO).
