On Bigamy Case

mimsy wrote:Can i file a bigamy case against a guy who is now living in the US? his first marriage is to a Filipina also, so can i presume that the NSO has a copy of their marriage contract? How about if the 2nd wife is aware of his status when they got married? Can she be imprisoned too? What do i need to present that this woman was fully aware for her to be convicted? Since bigamy can be filed by anyone who has knowledge of the crime, can my name be omitted in the filing of the case? Thanks!

Bigamy is the act of "marrying again" while the first marriage is still subsisting. Defined under Article 349 of the RPC as the contracting of a second or subsequent marriage before the former marriage has been legally dissolved, or before the absent spouse has been declared presumptively dead by means of a judgment rendered in the proper proceeding.

Referring to this, IMO, only the person (guy) who contracted the second marriage can be sued. Even if the second wife is aware of the first marriage, she cannot be charged.

good pm po atty.
un kaso ng bf ko nagpakasal sya sa babae sa Pilipinas un pala kasal pa ang babae sa hapon dito sa Pilipinas kasal din ang babae at hapon sa Japan. ngaun po ns Japan ang babae un bf ko ns dubai. may kopya po kame ng marriage certi ng babae at hapon galing NSO. pno po ang ggawin nmen pra ma void ang kasal ng bf ko at ng asawa nya e parehas sila ns iba bansa? pde po b kasuhan ang babae ng bigamy? sb ng babae divorce na daw sya sa Japan, sa Pilipinas di na daw nya iniintindi.

Bigamy is possible kung ang kasal ng boyfriend mo dun sa babae ay nang-yari bago ma-grant ang divorce at mag-karoon ng judicial recognition sa pinas. If the marriage was contracted after that, the marriage is valid and no bigamy.

pde p rn po b umandar ang kaso kht nsa iba bansa sila parehas? hnd ko po alam kng may judicial recognition pero po kc naka kuha pa kame ng merriage certificate ng babae at hapon sa NSO nito dec20 lng

Alam mo ba naman ang address ng padadalhan ng subpoena? Kung hindi papano lilitisin ang respondent?

Maraming salamat Sana at masagot nyo ako
Thank u godspeed morepower

Magkasama ba kayo sa abroad? Dahil kung hindi, hindi madaling patunayan ang adultery sa iyo at concubinage sa kanya! Kailangan meron kayong concrete evidence against each other.. Also infidelity is not ground for an annulment kaya wait nyo na lang ma approve and divorce bill para mapakasalan nyo ang inyong mga bagong partner. Hindi pa kayo bigamist dahil wala pa kayong pinakasalan for the second time!

Gaya ng sinabi ko. ang pag-usad ng kaso ay depende sa evidences. That is why i'm suggesting you to get a lawyer.

Good morning.. nabasa ko po na madami na kayong natulungan when it comes into marriage.. nais ko din sana humingi ng tulong..ganito po un...
nagleave in kami ng asawa ko for 8yrs at kinasal kami ng oct 2013 and this janiary 10 years na kmi.. bago pa kami kinasal sinasaktan na niya ako (black eye at saksak sa hita ng gunting at kung ano ano pa). Pero lahat ng iyon ay tinanggap ko at pinatawad siya.. at e2 pa nagkaroon xa ng pangalawang babae habang nagsasama kami sa iisang bubong at naanakan nia pa ngayon 5 yrs old na ung bata.. pero tinanggap ko p din dahil nangako siya na kapag nagpakasal kami iiwan nia na ung babae at nakausap ko pa sa mobile ung babae para patunayan sa akin ng asawa ko na iniwan niya ung babae... hanggang ngayon may affair pa din sila ng babae at may mga text msg na pinicturan ko bilang ebidinsya... mahirap kase ung sinasabi na sex video napaka imposible lalo na kung sa apartment ng babae nila ginagawa ang lahat...
ang tanong ko po ano pang ibang ebidinsya ang kakailanganin ko para maging matibay ung isasampa ko na kaso?  Gusto ko sana ay annulment na pero wala akong pera pambayad.. san at kanino po ako pwdeng humingi ng tulong. Dahil ayoko na talaga at hahayaan ko na sila ng babae nia. Ano po bang mainam na isampa at na sa tingin niyo ay maipapanalo ko... kailanhan ko na din bang umalis dito sa bahay nila habang nagsasampa ako ng kaso laban sa asawa ko.?
thank you and more power po...

Hi Atty.
Gusto ko lang po malaman kung may rights po ba akong ipa annul ang second marriage ng husband ko? Nagpakasal po sila ng second wife nya para lang makakuha sya ng temporary residence visa sa pinas kasi nasa bansa ako ng husband ko habang need nya mag stay sa pinas. Sabi ng husband ko fake daw po ung marriage paper nila. Pero ngayon, bina black mail ng second wife ung husband ko. Saka paano ko po ba malalaman kung may marriage talang nangyari sa kanila?
Thank you po.

Follow up question po regarding sa una kong topic..
Ano po yung tamang proseso pra makalaya na sila sa isa-t isa, tutal po may kanya kanya na silang pamilya..

Pwede pa rin po ba silang magFile ng annulment kung both parties ay nagkaron ng 2nd marriage?

Additional info po..

Thank you po.

where is your husband now? If he is still in the Philippines its risky for him, he can be done by fraud & bigamy. To find out about the authenticity of their marriage tell your husband to get it from NSO if it exists then its legal if not, then its fake. In order to have their marriage annul & void, you! as the real wife has to claim your marriage to him. He can end up with bigamy case if you and her are both marriage in the Philippines law. Otherwise, tell him to go home and never go back to the Philippines until his case is sorted by you filing the case. She can end up in jail if she knows from the start that he is married.

Whoever she is, if your husband had an affair with her, then you can't only blame her! 'It takes two to tango'
She can file a case of RA9262 against your husband and he will be obliged to give support/maintenance. If you doubt that he is the father and he denies it but she insist it, You will need to have DNA done to prove he is not the father, but if he is the father then he is obliged to give support/maintenance to his child.

sir good day ask ko lang po sana kung ano po ang pwede ko ikaso sa girlfriend ko. hindi ko po alam na may asawa siya at kasal pinaniwala niya ako na single siya at nagwowork sa singapore. pero nalaman ko na nakatira pala siya sa poder ng asawa niya at sinabi niya na ex daw niiya yun. pati sa kanila ay hindi alam na nagasawa na siya at pinakilala pa niya ako sa magulang at mga kapatid niya na kunwari ay nasa singapore siya. maraming salamat po.

Question:

kung nauna ang husband na magloko at magkaroon ng anak sa iba noong nag-sasama pa kami at kasal pa at ngyn ay hiwalay na kami sa loob ng 5 taon, pwede na rin ba ako magpakasal kahit sa civil lang kahit wala annulment? sapat na ba dahilan na nauna siyang magloko kaya kami nagkahiwalay para makapag-pakasal kami ng partner ko?

Good Day! Gusto ko lang po sana itanong kung meron po bang kaso or legal remedy sa situation ng sister ko.

Kinasal po ang sister ko sa Japan sa isang lalake na Pilipino, nagpakita ng CENOMAR ang lalake sa kabila ng pagkakaroon nya ng anak at kinakasama dito sa Pilinas. Upang makisigurado ay hiniling ng ate ko sa lalake na makausap ang kinakasama ng lalake dito sa Pilipinas upang makasigurado na hindi nga kasal ang lalake sa naturang babae. Ng makausap ng ate ko ang babae na kinakasama ng lalake ay sinabi niya ni hindi sila kasal at matagal na silang hiwalay. Nakasal ang ate ko sa lalake at kalaunan ay nalaman ng ate ko na kasal pala ang lalake sa kanyang kinakasama dito sa pilipinas at kung kayat nakakuha ng CENOMAR ang lalake ay dahil sa hindi pala naipasok sa NSO ang marriage contract ng lalake at babae sa kabila ng kanilang kasal sa CIVIL at SIMBAHAN.

Ang tanong po ng ate ko ay kung meron siyang pedeng ikaso sa lalake at babae sa ginawang pagloko sa kanya?

Maraming salamat po at sana ay matulungan nyo kami ng ate ko.

Hi atty. I have an inquiry. my father has been married to my mother for more than 25 years, the problem is my mother is his second wife, my father has a first wife whom he was currently married to when he married my mother. My parents have been together in Dubai since i was born, but my father came back to the Philippines for a vacation. Now, the first wife is blackmailing my father that if my father does not stay here in the philippines and goes back to Dubai, she will file a case on my parents. I understand that my father committed bigamy, but is there a counter-case that can be filed to the first wife?

Do you have any advice for me?

Question:
Hi Atty. I have an inquiry. I have a marriage before and that was on November 2001. Then we agreed to split up. Then I met someone and married on March 2004. I didn't know how we did it but it was done anyways. Then sometime in October 2008, I just received a case decision that my first marriage was already annuled, dissolved and voided. Then my problem is my employer is requiring me to submit issued advisory on marriages from PSA (CRS Form No. 5) for declaring of dependents I think. What will appear on it? Will my 2 marriages appear on it? Will I still be liable for bigamy? But what if no one will complain, will I still be held liable for bigamy?

Only way to find out is to wait for the Report of Marriage
