MANILA – Child marriage is now a public crime under a new law signed by President Rodrigo Duterte.

Republic Act (R.A.) No. 11596, also known as An Act Prohibiting the Practice of Child Marriage and Imposing Penalties, was signed by Duterte on Dec. 10, 2021 and a copy of the document was released to reporters on Thursday.

In signing the law, Duterte recognizes the need to abolish all traditional and cultural practices and structures that perpetuate discrimination, abuse, and exploitation of children such as the practice of child marriage.

“The State recognizes the role of women in nation-building and shall therefore protect and promote their empowerment. This entails the abolition of the unequal structures and practices that perpetuate discrimination and inequality," RA 11596 read.
Child marriage refers to any marriage entered into where one or both parties are children and solemnized in civil or church proceedings, or in any recognized traditional, cultural, or customary manner. It shall include an informal union or cohabitation outside of wedlock between an adult and a child, or between children.
Under the law, the facilitation and solemnization of child marriage and cohabitation of an adult with a child outside wedlock shall be declared “unlawful and prohibited acts.”

“The foregoing unlawful and prohibited acts are deemed public crimes and can be initiated by any concerned individual,” Section 5 of RA 11596 read.

Any person who causes, fixes, facilitates or arranges a child marriage shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its medium period and a fine of not less than PHP40,000.

However, should the perpetrator be an ascendant, parent, adoptive parent, step parent, or guardian of the child, the penalty shall be prision mayor in its maximum period, a fine of not less than PHP50,000, and perpetual loss of parental authority.

Any person who performs or officiates a child marriage shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its maximum period and a fine of not less than PHP50,000 in addition to perpetual disqualification from office if he or she is a public officer.

Any adult partner who cohabits with a child outside wedlock shall suffer the penalty of prision mayor in its maximum period and a fine of not less than PHP50,000, and may be perpetually disqualified from holding office at the discretion of the courts if the perpetrator is a public officer.

Prision mayor is an “afflictive” type of penalty in terms of incarceration. Its minimum period is six years and one day to eight years, while its medium period is eight years and one day to 10 years.

RA 11596 directs the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to take the lead in the implementation of this Act and create programs that will address the prevalence of child marriage and provide appropriate services, including but not limited to legal services, health services, psychosocial services, counseling, educational, livelihood and skills development, temporary shelter, and all other assistance necessary to protect victims of child marriage and their offspring. It shall include awareness campaigns on the negative effects of child marriage.
Under the new law, the Department of Education shall include culturally-sensitive and age-appropriate modules and discussions on the impacts and effects of the child marriage in its comprehensive sexuality education curriculum.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government, on the other hand, shall institute a systematic information and prevention campaign against child marriage through barangay-level education programs and initiatives that are culturally-sensitive and child-centered.

The law is a consolidation of Senate Bill No. 1373 and House Bill No. 9943, passed by the Senate and the House of Representatives on September 27, 2021

Datu Mantangkilan Cumatang (with his wife Inay on the right) also known as Amay (“Father”), is a well-respected figure, not only within the community of Mintapod in Hagpa, Impasugong where he is the Datu (Leader), but also among all the Higaonon people, northern Mindanao Island. He is the first Asian to win Darrell Posey Fellowship Award from the International Society of Ethnobiology on the basis of his long-standing and profound commitment to social and environmental renewal among his people and, especially, for his efforts at securing the protection of Mt. Kimangkil, a sacred mountain to the Higaonon Indigenous Nation and the source of all the island’s major rivers. Active and peaceful opposition to: commercial logging, mining, oil palm plantations and violent insurgency has come at a cost for Amay and his allies: Over the years a number of leaders have been murdered or injured and Amay has had to go into hiding several times. During his time as Field Fellow Amay worked to strengthen customary law, promoting its transmission to the younger generation and its application to securing their social well-being, livelihoods and territory.

Thank you for your bravery, Datu.

May we all remember the efforts, dedication and bravery of our Bukidnon cultural experts who fought for their cultural rights, continually nurture their heritage and strengthened forests conservation efforts which considered as their home way back then.
