Talk:Civil Code of the Philippines

Creation of a separate article for the Family Code
I move to split this article and I propose that a separate article be created for the Family Code. The Family Code is not part of the Civil Code and has, in fact, superseded the Civil Code for marriages celebrated after August 3, 1988. There are also significant differences between the two with regard to the rights, duties, property relations and other matters between spouses. At best, I think only a brief mention of the FC would be appropriate in his article. However, a detailed discussion of the FC cannot be possible in a page supposedly dedicated to the CC alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riverarvi (talk • contribs) 16:33, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. These are two separate landmark laws. –Sanglahi86 (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

More detail needed re: Family Code
With the recent death of former president Aquino, the Family Code reforms are going to draw new attention from Wikipedia users who run across a mention of them as being one of her earliest steps as a new president. It would be helpful if the section were more clear about (a) what is meant by the part of the description that refers to foreign ideas that had proven incompatible with Filipino culture and (b) how the new code was different from prior law. For example, I remember from reading about changes in Nicaraguan family law around this same time that divorce laws were changed in specific ways (they escape my mind right now, but they're delineated in various sources) as well as women's rights regarding the custody of children born within or outside of marriage. More detailed description, as well as any sources that could be consulted online - to supplement the printed sources already cited - would be welcome improvements.

 * That could be difficult. I took a quick look at just the first few articles, and finding the differences seems a bit complicated and needful of judgement calls.


 * Also, such an analysis by WP editors looks to me like original research. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
