A wife – who, because of love, had to endure the verbal and physical abuses of her drunkard, heavy gambler, and philandering husband – has been freed from the marital bond that was solemnized almost 17 years ago.

Her petition against the Court of Appeals , which reversed in 2019 the trial court’s 2015 ruling that nullified her marriage, was granted by the Supreme Court in a decision made public last March 4.

The wife alleged that her husband’s personality made him completely unable to discharge the essential obligations of marriage. She said she was forced to give P2,000 monthly support to her husband’s mother which she did despite her protest. She also said her husband would leave their conjugal home for days to spend his time with his other women.

Accompanied by her mother, she said they reported the threats to the police and the barangay which issued a Barangay Protection Order . The husband appealed to the CA which reversed the trial court’ ruling. The CA said that the totality of evidence presented by the wife was insufficient to show that the husband was psychologically incapacitated.
