Mr, Jorge C. Bocobo, former Dean of the University of the Philippines, College of Law, from 1917 to 1934 said that once love disappears from marriage, the dark reality of matrimonial dissolution rudely interrupts the lives of couples and sets the stage for a legal tug-of-war. He also notes that some women who favor divorse could be described by the Spanish Poet in these lines:
SPANISH POET
Te amaré diosa Venus si prefieres
que te ame mucho tiempo y con cordura
y respondió la diosa de Citeres:
Prefiero como todas las mujeres
que me amen poco tiempo y con locura.
Te amaré diosa Venus, te amaré.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I will love you, Divine Venus, if you desire
that I love you eternally and with discretion.
The goddess of Cythera replied to me:
I prefer, as all women do,
that you love me for a short time and passionately.
I will love you, Divine Venus, I will love you.
In other words, the woman who favors divorse says, I prefer like all women do, to be loved briefly but with madness. A tagalog proverb says... ANG UNA ay NAGSISISI KUMAKARIMOT ANG HULI, it means that Those who are already married are repenting and others are in a hurry to get hitched.
