PAM praises Family Code review and urges swift action

The article from MSN discusses the commendation by the Philippine Association of the Muslim Lawyers (PAM) of the ongoing review of the Family Code by the House Committee on Population and Family Relations. PAM has urged for swift action in amending the Code to address issues like divorce, which is currently not recognized under Philippine law except for Muslims. The review aims to modernize family laws, making them more responsive to contemporary societal needs. PAM emphasized the importance of these amendments in promoting justice, equality, and human rights, particularly in recognizing the right to dissolve marriages that have irretrievably broken down. The association also highlighted the need for these changes to reflect the diverse cultural and religious practices within the Philippines, ensuring that the legal framework supports all citizens' rights to personal and familial autonomy.
