#Divorces obtained abroad do not need to be decreed by foreign courts in order to be recognized in the #Philippines, the #SupremeCourt announced on Friday.
“The Court held that the type of #divorce, whether administrative or judicial, did not matter. As long as the divorce is valid under the foreign spouse's national law, it will be recognized in the Philippines for the Filipino spouse.”

"She Had an Affair with Her Bicycle Instructor Because Her Husband Snored"
The divorce of Samuel Freligh (b.1852 NY) and his wife Mary Miller was salacious enough to warrant several newspaper articles in 1900 NY City.
It seems that Mary was accused of having an affair with a "Bicycle Instructor," and was tired of her husband's loud snoring. When the Judge gave his ruling on the case, daughter Ida (who had sided with her mother during the proceedings) began to yell in protest and had to be removed from the courtroom.
Daughter Ida later became a #Burlesque actress in the theatre.
