Defining the News
The Supreme Court has ruled that in determining whether marital infidelity caused psychological violence under Republic Act 9262, or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act , “criminal intent” is automatically presumed in the act of marital infidelity.
He, however, argued that his unfaithfulness did not amount to psychological violence as he did not intend to cause his wife mental and emotional distress. The Court emphasized that the Anti-VAWC Act’s main thrust is the protection of women and their children, and is more concerned with defending them as victims rather than penalizing offenders.
