The past two decades have witnessed a rapid increase of cross-border marriage migration between Southeast- and East Asia. The majority of these marriages are between are men of wealthier countries/regions and women from economically less developed ones. The phenomena of "brides from Asia" in Japan, "Chosonjok brides" and "mixed marriages" in South Korea and "foreign and mainland brides" in Taiwan, all attract huge media attention, cause public panic, and challenge these societies whose population and immigration policies are based on mono-ethnic principles. Despite huge scholarly interest, we know very little about who these women are and why they marry and migrate. This book provides an overview of the demographic patterns of, and social issues related to cross-border marriages in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam in the past two decades with contributions from scholars in the fields of demography, sociology, anthropology and social work. With its diversified methodologies and approaches, this volume will interest scholars and students of migration and gender studies. It also informs policy-makers and concerned civil society groups and practitioners.

In the Filipino culture, marriage is regarded as a sacred matrimony and the family founded on marriage is considered as a reservoir of love, security and care. But reality shows that there are many unhappy and even abusive marriages across all Filipino classes. In fact, violence against women has been one of the pressing issue in the country and in 2003, 53.6% of the total cases of violence against women are reported incidence of wife battering and physical abuses where about three out of ten perpetrators are he husbands of the victims (PNP, 2003). But due to cultural prescription and lack of access to courts to end such abusive marriage, Filipino couples, especially from the marginalized sector, end up either separating without proper legal procedures or bear the strain of the breakdown of their failing marriage. Drawing up on research, this paper seeks to illustrate the factors that trap Filipino wives in an abusive and failing marriage. This paper analyzes the sheer volume of literature that explains the security and primacy of marriage as an institution and the context of how different structures of the Philippine society affect the decision of a wife to stay inside her marriage and bear the sufferings of her relationship amidst abuses and unhappiness.

This study explores the political power of the Catholic Church as an institution, examining how the Catholic Church shifts the status of divorce legislation in the Philippines through various strategies through the examination of various pastoral statements, legislative bills, and key informant interviews of crucial political actors. Findings from the Archival Research indicate that the Catholic Church has fragmented influence in the legislature. While the Catholic Church can influence the Senate effectively through its pastoral statements and as a moral stakeholder, influence is lacking in the House of Representatives. Due to this fragmented influence, the Catholic Church resorts to indirect influence — discourses – with the most effective discourse identified as “Discourse as a Violation of Philippine Laws.” The most prominent strategy used by the Catholic Church in the Varieties of Public Religion (Buckley, 2014) is comprehensive mobilization. Key informant interviews indicated strategies utilized by the Catholic Church not strictly fit to the Varieties of Public Religion (Buckley, 2014). The Catholic Church influences the public’s attitude by taking up the role of a moral teacher and protector of the people and attacking concepts of divorce. In influencing policymakers, relationships and embedded Catholic virtues are utilized. Interestingly, there is a lack of concentrated campaigns to address the issue of divorce. This may indicate the Catholic Church’s perception of divorce — which is an issue that can be set aside or ignored. This study recommends that further studies on Church-State relations regarding divorce should be conducted more locally, utilizing a quantitative research design and the agenda-setting framework. Practically, this study recommends a better relationship among divorce stakeholders to facilitate pro- divorce-led discourse.

Domestic violence is prevalent not only in the Philippines but also in other countries. This study explored how battered women viewed their experiences as victims using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach (van Manen, 2016). Using purposive sampling and snowball technique, the study identified six battered women who were interviewed using researcher-made guide questions. The responses generated from the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology which aimed to understand the lived experiences of the participants. Four central themes were identified, namely recurrence of physical abuse, endurance to pain, disempowerment of women, and love for family. Battered women prefer to stay home and endure their husbands’ battering to protect children and family from social stigma.

This paper demonstrates that the rise in union dissolution in the Philippines has not happened in isolation. It has to some extent been influenced by the changing character of union formation in the country, the prevailing legal system, a growing acceptance of divorce, increasing education for women, and increasing urbanization. 1. Introduction.
The current estimated cost of litigation ranges from 50,000 to 200,000 Philippine pesos plus fees for an expert witness who will testify for the ground of psychological incapacity. 16 As a consequence, too, of these legal and financial limitations, many live-in or so-called "common-law" relationships exist. 2.
Purpose of the Paper. This paper seeks to re-open the debate on the proposal for the legalization of divorce in the Philippines. For a large number of women, the inequalities and violence in marriage negate its ideals as the embodiment of love, care and safety and erode the bases upon which a marriage is founded.
