Divorce is not wrong in all cases. In some case such as abuse it is needed. The abused spouse needs to take the necessary steps to protect themselves and children both physically, mentally, and financially. If the Philippines has these protections in place, then I don’t know if it is needed. But in the US, divorce is the procedure that these protections take place. Dating and remarriage after the divorce is a whole other topic however.

Divorce is not only morally wrong, it is also a detriment to society.
It destablizes families and has many social consequences. On that basis alone, no it should not be legal. There should be a way to protect an abused spouse & children. But, no-fault divorce is bad for women, families, and children and should not be legal.

1ke,
I will agree with that. My main point is that there is a way to protect the abused spouse and children.

Civil divorce is, I think, a necessary evil. There are cases where people need to separate and even be protected from one another.
Should a woman be saddled with all her husband’s debts for life, even if she is not living with him and has no responsibility? Should a man be forced to support a woman who has run off with another guy? There are cases where, unfortunately, justice requires the LEGAL severability of married individuals.
Civil divorce has no effect on the Church’s view of a marriage. It never has and it never will. Separate issue to be resolved separately.
I have said myself, that if my husband became abusive or cheated on me, or there were other issues serious enough that I felt I could not live with him anymore, I would divorce him civilly in order to protect myself legally. Our debts would be separate, our property rights would be separate…etc. My marriage would be considered valid by the Church, and still by me, but I would have legal and civil protections where I needed them.
Sad, but an unfortunate reality of human relationships. Sometimes, they break.
edited to add: I completely agree with the statements already made about no-fault divorce. That has been a tragedy of untold proportions. But I believe there should be fault-divorce, like there used to be.
