CONSIDERED a form of psychological abuse, this was pointed out under Section 5 of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Law, the femininity of mischievous husbands.
This is based on the landmark case written by Supreme Court Chief Justice Diosdado Peralta, that the court found Jaime Araza guilty and sentenced him to six months to eight years in prison after leaving his legal wife and live with another “woman” or “kabit”.
This as the court finds the legal wife has caused severe mental health problems like anguish and depression that led to her illnesses.
Aside from incarceration, Aranza was also fined for moral damages and had to undergo counseling to correct his abusive behavior.
