Di Filipina, kalau masuk Islam untuk kahwin lagi, boleh terlepas bigami?

Tidak. Memeluk Islam semata-mata untuk berkahwin lagi ketika masih terikat perkahwinan sivil tidak menghalang pendakwaan bigami (Revised Penal Code Art. 349). Art. 180 PD 1083 mengecualikan orang yang berkahwin menurut Kod ini, tetapi Mahkamah Agung menghadkannya. Dalam Nollora v. People (2011), lelaki yang mendakwa mualaf disabitkan kerana perkahwinannya tidak diakadkan menurut PD 1083. Dalam Malaki v. People (2021), pihak kepada perkahwinan sivil yang memeluk Islam lalu berkahwin lagi tetap bersalah, begitu juga pasangan barunya; perkahwinan sivil pertama kekal di bawah undang-undang sivil. Mahkamah juga menegaskan persetujuan isteri, atau kebenaran mahkamah jika isteri enggan, ialah syarat sine qua non. Islam sendiri tidak membenarkan agama dijadikan helah untuk menzalimi isteri.

In the Philippines, if someone converts to Islam to marry again, can they escape bigamy?

No. Embracing Islam merely to marry again while still bound by a civil marriage does not prevent prosecution for bigamy (Revised Penal Code Art. 349). Art. 180 of PD 1083 exempts persons married under this Code, but the Supreme Court has limited it. In Nollora v. People (2011), a man claiming to be a convert was convicted because his marriage was not solemnised under PD 1083. In Malaki v. People (2021), a party to a civil marriage who embraced Islam and then married again was still guilty, as was the new spouse; the first civil marriage remains under civil law. The court also stressed that the wife's consent, or the court's permission if the wife refuses, is a sine qua non. Islam itself does not allow religion to be used as a ruse to wrong a wife. See Philippines.
