Maybe the Philippines and Indonesia don't represent most of Asia, but illegitimacy has become a very obvious problem in the last decade there. The only reason divorce is not more common is because an annulment in the Philippines represents an astronomically prohibitive barrier for most citizens.
- wyclif 15y agoDivorce and annulment are not the same things in legal terms. Filipino law does not provide for divorce. I'd also suggest that legalities are hardly "the only reason" divorce isn't more prevalent. As the OP suggests, tradition, societal expectations, and welfare have a lot to do with it as well.
