WARNING!

Because divorce is nonexistent in the Philippines, if you enter into a relationship with a married woman while in the Philippines, and she is not legally separated, then you are committing adultery.

The law relating to adultery is this:

The Revised Penal Code defines “adultery” in
Article 333 as follows: “Adultery is committed
by any married woman who shall have sexual
intercourse with a man not her husband and by
the man who has carnal knowledge of her
knowing her to be married, even if the marriage
be subsequently declared void. Adultery shall
be punished by prison correctional in its medium
and maximum periods
(I think those minimum and maximum periods are from 7 to 14 years)

Some of the ladies profiled on jaderune.com have listed in their bios that they are separated. That does not mean that they are 'legally' separated. You should confirm with them about their actual legal status before you enter into any sexual union with them because you could be committing adultery under Philippine law, and could be arrested and charged for that crime. Although it is rare, it does happen to some foreigners, usually because the woman's husband comes out of the woodwork, and files charges against you in order to get you to pay him to drop the charges. It is his way of getting your money. And if you don't pay him, then you will most likely wind up in a Philippine prison.

Cohabitation of a foreigner with an unmarried filipina is classified as concubinage, which is also a crime. So living with an unmarried woman is also a crime in the Philippines.

Although prosecution of these crimes is very rare, it can happen!
