00:00I don't think we're going to finish talking about separation.
00:05There are more and more issues about that,
00:09and not just among our well-known personalities,
00:12but also among our acquaintances.
00:14We often hear about this.
00:16What does Bantas have to say about this?
00:19Well, ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:30Atty, when my wife texts me,
00:32can I post online
00:34what she did to let the whole world know
00:37how crazy she is?
00:39It's only natural that we want to express our bad feelings
00:43if we feel that our person has underestimated us
00:47or that we're being overlooked,
00:49especially if it's a text from someone we love.
00:53But we need to remember that posting a text from your wife
00:58and that she doesn't follow you on social media
01:02has legal implications,
01:04particularly in a possible case of cyber libel.
01:08Under our law,
01:10libel is the malicious imputation of a crime,
01:13vice or defect,
01:14and the spread of it that can damage
01:17a person's reputation,
01:19especially if the person involved is identified and recognized
01:23in these cases.
01:25Even if the information posted is true,
01:27you can still be charged
01:29if the original intention of the post
01:31is to harm the reputation of your wife
01:36and her husband.
01:37However, let's remember that a crazy wife
01:42has the right to a crime,
01:45and if it can be proven to be true,
01:49and it can also be proven that this post
01:52has good motives and justifiable ends,
01:55it can be a defense against the crime of libel.
01:58But as a general rule,
02:00just don't do it.
02:02Attorney, what if we're married,
02:05but we haven't been together for a long time
02:07and we're already divorced?
02:09Is there still a case
02:10if you're caught having an affair?
02:13Yes, there is still a possible case.
02:16Even if you haven't been together for a long time
02:19and you're already divorced,
02:20if your marriage hasn't been dissolved
02:22or if you've been declared unmarried,
02:24you're still considered to be married
02:27under the law.
02:28Of course, the case is a bit different
02:30depending on whether the man or the woman
02:33is in a relationship.
02:34It's either adultery for women
02:36and concubinage for men.
02:37And it's not just a relationship.
02:39They might say,
02:40hey, they're just BFFs.
02:42A relationship is a prohibited relationship.
02:45And in the case of women,
02:46the crime is adultery.
02:48And this is the relationship
02:49with a man who is not her husband.
02:51And the next punishment
02:53is imprisonment for up to 6 years.
02:55Meanwhile, for men,
02:57the crime is concubinage
02:59but it's a bit more complicated.
03:02It's not just having an affair
03:04with another woman.
03:05There's no case as simple as that.
03:07But it can and should be
03:09either A, having an affair
03:11under scandalous circumstances,
03:14B, having an affair in a conjugal home,
03:16and C, having an open relationship
03:19with her husband
03:20under a roof
03:22so that they can get to know each other
03:24and make this relationship public.
03:27So it's a bit unfair, isn't it?
03:29The punishment for the husband
03:30is imprisonment for up to 4 years
03:32and 1 day only.
03:34Meanwhile, for the concubine,
03:35she's not being imprisoned
03:36but she can be punished
03:37with death penalty or banishment.
03:39It's also a possible case
03:41of anti-violence against women
03:42under Republic Act 9262.
03:45The Supreme Court has already ruled
03:47that marital infidelity
03:49is a possible case of psychological
03:51and emotional violence against women.
03:53In cases under Republic Act 9262,
03:57even if you're not together,
03:58even if you're annulled
03:59or declared that you're not married,
04:01you can still be charged
04:03under the provisions of this law.
04:07We will clarify the law we're discussing
04:10for the peace of mind.
04:12Don't hesitate.
04:14Ask me, ask Katerina Gabby.
