The Romualdezes noted that Pope Francis has introduced significant reforms in the canonical procedure in marriage nullity cases have been introduced in the Catholic Church.

“Under the principle of equality before the law, if a Muslim divorce is recognized, there can be no serious objections towards the recognition of the civil effects of a marriage by an established and duly recognized religious denomination,” they said. “In case the grounds for the church annulment or declaration of nullity are not similar to any of the grounds provided in the Family Code of the Philippines, their common children born or conceived before the issuance of the decree of annulment or declaration of nullity shall be considered legitimate,” the bill said.
