Cuba’s Family Code

Exciting things in Cuba! The nuclear family has been abolished and Cuba recognizes a family as a group of people who love each other. That means your found family is a legally recognized family with all the rights and protections that entails. Gay couples, single parents (and so on) can now have their adopted children recognized as next of kin.

Gay relationships had been decriminalized since around the late 80′s, after Fidel Castro officially apologized for his role in their oppression and made LGBT education a part of the island’s culture, but this code officially protects it. Adoption is ratified, but adoption in exchange for money is illegal to prevent extortion of poor/working mothers and child traffiking.

The code has also enshrined trans healthcare and protections for children running away from abuse. Their parents can not treat them as property but as protected individuals under the state.

Around 6 million Cubans participated in the referendum, 66% of them voting yes. The referendum has been discussed for a while at local levels (ie community centers) as well as in government hearings. I know Cuba still maintains a capitalist mode of production, but honestly it is good seeing a country in the global south making its own decisions on progressive issues without the pinkwashing efforts of the west, as can be seen in my own country Nigeria. Obama’s sanctions on us for our government’s anti-LGBT sentiment increased homophobic violence in the country and even made conditions worse for both queer and cishet Nigerians. Sanctions never work, regardless of the nation or situation. They only crush the marginalized in the process. Self determination like what we see in Cuba is extremely important. The people need to have a say, not with the influence of a foreign government that is letting trans people die on a whim (looking at you US and UK).

So in summary, this is exciting news for Cuba and can show us what a future society with true egalitarian values. “El amor ya es ley!”

To learn more, Leslie Feinberg wrote a fantastic book called “Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba ”. Also the official government statement on the code can be found here

Cuba is set to hold a popular referendum on its new Family Code, which changes the concept of the family nucleus and expands women’s rights and LGBTQ+ rights. This Sunday, on September 18, Cuban citizens living abroad, and next Sunday, on September 25, citizens in Cuba will vote to decide whether to “approve” or “reject” a new progressive Family Code, which has been drafted in consultation with the general public. This referendum is an unprecedented democratic exercise in Cuba, since for the first time in the country’s history, a referendum on a code is being held. Until now only constitutional referendums have been held in the country. Additionally, it is a pioneering event in the world, as Cuba has become the first country in the world to have submitted a Family Code to popular consultation and referendum. The new Family Code is also considered to be the most inclusive and progressive code in the world. The new code guarantees the right of all people to form a family without discrimination, legalizing same sex marriage and allowing such couples to adopt children. It allows for parental rights to be shared among extended and non-traditional family structures that could include grandparents, step parents and surrogate mothers. It also adds novelties such as prenuptial agreements and assisted reproduction. It boosts women’s rights, promoting equal sharing of domestic responsibilities and extending labor rights to those who care full-time for children, the elderly, or people with disabilities. It establishes the right to a family life free from violence; that values love, affection, solidarity and responsibility. It codifies domestic violence penalties, and outlaws corporal punishment. It states that parents will have “responsibility” instead of “custody” of children, and be required to be “respectful of the dignity and physical and mental integrity of children and adolescents.” It also asserts that parents should grant maturing offspring more say over their lives.

we need to bring back inviting people over for cake and coffee. my grandma used to do that all the time and I think it's a lost art

#we would get a nice coffee cake or pie or streusel #and then make a big batch of coffee #and she and my cousins and other family would just sit around chitchatting #and my grandma always said to call it 'cake and coffee'#so the guests didn't expect dinner #it was like code for be gone before dinner

Family Dinners - dpxdc

"Holy shit, you're Bruce Wayne!" Danny gaped, jabbing a finger at the man sitting at the head of the table.

The bustling dining room goes silent as everyone turns to look at him.

"Danny, who did you think was going to be here?" Tim asks, disbelief plain in his voice and Danny feels his face flush red.

"Sorry, I, uh, I guess I just never put it together. Tim Drake-Wayne. Wayne Manor. It, uh, makes sense now." He laughs sheepishly and scrubs at his neck before slumping back down into his chair.

"Well," Tim says with an indulgent sigh, "at least I know you're not just friends with me for my connections."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry, I just never thought about it, I guess."

Danny sinks lower as everyone around him laughs. Come to dinner, he said, the food is the best, he said, ignore the family, he said. Danny really wishes he'd listened to Tim and just ignored them—almost as much as he's regretting accepting the offer in the first place—but... he's having dinner with Batman.

Ancients, that's so weird!

The last time he saw Batman was in the future and, suffice it to say, it was not going well. There hadn't really been time for family dinners there.

Wait. Family dinners?

He peers around the table, openly gawking at everyone as it all clicks into place.

"Everything alright, Danny? Now realising who everyone else is?" Tim asks with a roll of his eyes.

"Uh... something like that..." Danny mumbles as everyone laughs again.

From further down the table, the smallest Wayne scoffs and clicks his tongue.

"I thought you said he was smart, Drake?"

"So, you all do it, too, then?" he asks, ignoring the jibe. Danny's only a little bit jealous as he thinks of how much easier they must have it, how much easier it'd be if his family had been on his side, too. "You all work together?"

"Nah," Dick says from across the table with a brilliant grin. "Tim's the only one that works with Bruce, we all have different jobs. I'm a police officer in Bludhaven."

"Disgusting." Danny blurts out without thinking—because seriously, what kind of self-respecting vigilante would also be a police officer?—before clapping a hand over his mouth. "Sorry."

The whole table laughs again, the loudest being the blonde girl a few spaces down from Dick. Look, Danny wasn't really paying attention to names when they were all paraded in front of him. Dick only gets remembered because his name is a joke.

Come on, Danny, recover!

"That's, uh, not what I meant, though."

"Oh?" Dick asks, cocking his head slightly to the side. Is it Danny's imagination or does his smile tense slightly?

"Yeah, I mean like, you know, in costume. It must make it so much easier to have everyone together like this."

"Costume? What do you mean?"

Yeah, Danny's not imagining it, everyone tenses up at that. It's really only now that he's realising that this probably isn't how he should bring up that he knows about their... night time activities. In fact, he probably shouldn't be bringing it up at all.

"Uuhhh..." Danny looks wildly around the table as he continues making his stupid noise. Think, think, think! There must be a way out of this!

"Danny?" Tim asks, looking concerned.

"Oh, Ancients, this isn't how I wanted it to go at all," he mutters, slipping even further into his chair. He's almost on the floor now and he so, so wishes it could just swallow him up.

His real first meeting with Batman was meant to be cool! He had planned to be Phantom, maybe save them from a tight spot, prove his worth as a mysterious and powerful ally as thanks for the help Batman gave him in the future.

"Danny, what are you talking about?" Tim starts tugging on his sleeve in an attempt to pull him back up from his pit of despair.

Eventually, Danny relents and sits up straighter, hiding his face in his hands and whining all the while.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't expect him to be here and it threw me off so now I look stupid and it's so embarrassing!" he wails, flailing his arms wide. "Why wouldn't you warn me that Batman was your adopted dad, Tim? Couldn't you have let me know?"

"I'm sorry, what? Danny are you alright? There's no way Bruce can be Batman, look at him!"

"Yeah," the blonde girl laughs from the bottom of the table, "look at him! That's a wet noodle of a man! Batman can actually do things, B is incapable of pretty much everything."

"Thank you, Stephanie," Bruce sighs, massaging his forehead.

It's... Those are the first words Danny's heard Batman say since everything went down and it's enough to knock him out of his embarrassment.

It's really good to hear his voice again. Especially now, when it's strong and healthy and full of personality—even if that personality is little more than a tired father right now—far better than how it had been, at the end.

Danny sits up, back straight, and grins. He's got this. He remembers it perfectly. Some people count sheep to fall asleep, Danny repeats his mantra to be certain that he'll never forget it.

"Gamma alpha upsilon tau iota mu epsilon, 42, 63, 28, 1 colon 65 dash 9."

Once again, the whole table falls into silence.

"Holy shit..." breathes the other D name (Duke? Danny's pretty sure he's Signal) from opposite Stephanie. "Isn't that...?"

"The time travelling code." The littlest Wayne says stiffly. "We have met in the future?"

"That's not just the time travelling code, Dami." Dick says, looking between Danny and Bruce. "That's the family time travelling code."

Danny's grin freezes in place.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"1 colon 65 dash 9." Dick explains, still flicking between him and Bruce. "It means you've been adopted into the family and we should all treat you as such, no questions asked."

"Tell you what, I'm about to ask a question." Danny says, dumbstruck. "You just told me it was a code to identify time travellers, not anything about being adopted! What the hell, B?"

Bruce looks about as shellshocked as Danny feels.

"We must have been close," he says finally, after opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water a few times.

"No! Not that close!" Danny reels back, taking a deep breath ready to refute it all, but... "Well, I mean, you found me when I first got stuck, and you helped me get better despite being... And then we fought together against the, uh, bad guy, before he, um, he... before you couldn't."

An uncomfortable beat passes while they all pick up on what Danny tried so hard not to say.

"So, you're not from the future, then, you travelled there and came back?" Tim asks, breaking the tension and leaning forward with a glint in his eye.

"Yeah, it was a whole end of the world thing, but don't worry about it," Danny says with a hand wave, "It's all kosher now, won't ever happen."

"What did happen?"

"Seriously, don't worry about it, we cool."

"How long in the future was it?"

"About ten years? You were pretty spry for an old man, B," Danny laughs, wishing they'd get off the topic of what happened and get back to the adoption bit.

Everyone shares degrees of a cautious smile as they relax out of the shock, and Dick—whose grin is the biggest—says, "No wonder you got the family code, you're already riffing on him like one of us. How long were you there for?"

"A week, before I managed to get back to my present and stop him then."

"A week? Jeez, B, that has to set some kind of record, seriously."

"Oh!" Danny says, sitting bolt upright and blinking in surprise before pointing at Dick and bouncing in his seat. "You're Nightwing!"

"What?"

"That's exactly what Nightwing said when Batman told me the code! Makes so much more sense now."

Dick laughs and claps his hands, delighted.

"You were not formally adopted?" The grumpy small one—Dami?—asks, his face pinched.

"I didn't even know I was informally adopted."

"And your parents? Are they alive or dead?"

"Damian, stop—"

"They were dead in the future, but they're alive now." Danny says, looking down. He fiddles with the tablecloth, twisting the fabric around his fingers as he fights down the pang of sadness that he always feels when he thinks of them now. He forces a bright smile on his face and hopes it doesn’t look too strained. "I just, uh, can't talk to them much, anymore."

"Damian," Dick warns, "1 colon 65 dash 9. Treat them as family, no questions asked."

"This is Damian treating him as family, the little turd has no manners." Tim scoffs, rolling his eyes, but he gently bumps shoulders with Danny to knock him out of his funk. Danny can't help but send him a watery smile.

"I have the most exemplary manners, Drake, unlike some people." Damian spits, crossing his arms with a pout. "I was merely ascertaining his status to see how he could possibly fit into the family."

"I know this is all a bit sudden, Danny," Bruce smiles, ignoring Damian and reaching out to lay a warm hand on his arm, "for all of us. But if I felt strongly enough to give you that code after spending a week with you in the future, then you are more than welcome in this family, if you so choose it. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we'd like to get to know you a bit more."

"I know a threat when I hear it, Bruce." Danny snorts. "But, yeah, I get it. I'm sorry this is all so weird, it really wasn't how I wanted to find you again, but... I'm glad I did."

"So are we, Danny." Dick says, with a warm smile. "And formally or not, 1 colon 65 dash 9 means you're family. Welcome to the fun house! No take backs or refunds, sorry. You're stuck with us."

Morigo v. People

G.R. No. 145226, February 06, 2004

Civil law; Family Code; Applicability of Article 40

NOTE: A mere signing of the marriage contract by the parties, without the presence of the solemnizing officer, there in no marriage to speak of because there is no actual marriage ceremony that was performed by the duly authorized solemnizing officer. There is no need for Judicial Declaration of Nullity. No crime of bigamy is committed.

ISSUE: Did Morigo need to file a declaration for the nullity of his marriage with Barrete before his second marriage in order to avoid the bigamy case? answers are rulings of the Supreme Court, after the facts.

FACTS: Lucio Morigo and Lucia Barrete were former boardmates in Bohol and lost contact when their school year ended. However, they reconnected through a card from Lucia while she was in Singapore, leading to constant communication and the development of a romantic relationship.

Lucia eventually returned to the Philippines in 1986 but left again for Canada to work. Despite the distance, they maintained regular communication. In 1990, Lucia returned to the Philippines and proposed to petition for Lucio to join her in Canada. They agreed to get married and had their wedding on August 30, 1990, in Bohol. Lucia went back to Canada for work, leaving Lucio behind.

On August 19, 1991, Lucia filed for divorce against Lucio in the Ontario Court, which was granted on January 17, 1992, with an effective date of February 17, 1992.

On October 4, 1992, Lucio married Maria Jececha Lumbago in Bohol. On September 21, 1993, Lucio filed a complaint to declare the nullity of his first marriage, claiming that no actual marriage ceremony took place.

ANSWER (SUPREME COURT RULING): NO!

Morigo's marriage with Barrete is considered void ab initio because no formal marriage ceremony was conducted by a solemnizing officer; instead, they merely signed a marriage contract. Therefore, the petitioner is not required to file a declaration of nullity for his first marriage when he entered into his second marriage with Lumbago. Consequently, he did not commit bigamy and has been acquitted in the filed case.

Sison vs. Te Lai Li

FACTS:

Juanita Sison and Te were arranged married and was only informed 2 weeks before the actual wedding or celebration and Te never supported the marriage and Juanita was whipped and threatened by her father because she did not want to marry Te. 2 days before the wedding Juanita ran away to the office of a Fiscal but later on his father knew her whereabouts and ask her t return home and promised her that he will no longer force her to marry. Juanita, believing the words of her father returned home and was locked up until the day of the celebration. On the morning of the wedding her father handed her a knife and made her choose between losing her life or her father’s life that’s why Juanita consented on marrying Te. The first was celebrated by Judge Hofilena and the secondwedding was solemnized by the Chinese consul Mih in conformity with the Chinese rites. Momentsbefore the first wedding, Juanita approached Judge Hofilena and told him that she was only beingcompelled by her father to marry the groom to be. A certain Mr. Teng also corroborated this testimonythat during the marriage ceremony, he saw that the Judge was irked by the hesitant attitude displayedby the bride. Mr. Teng also testified that when they went to get Juanita from the Fiscal’s office, Juanita’s Father confessed that Juanita does not want to marry Te.

After the marriage, Juanita always considered her husband to be a stranger. She was kept a prisoner intheir house and they never shared the same bed (she slept in a chair). They never had sexual intercourseexcept when a time when she was forced by her husband holding a knife to submit to his wishes.Because of this, she mustered courage and escaped.

ISSUE:

W/N The consent to marry given by Juanita was obtained through force and intimidation

W/N Even supposing that the marriage was void due to lack of consent, that it was ratified through cohabitation

HELD:

1. YES. Based on the testimonies given by the petitioner and the Judge as corroborated by Mr.Teng, it is evident that that Juanita did not want to marry Te but only did so due to force, threat and intimidation given by her father. Te Lay Li and Juanita’s father did not deny norrefute Juanita’s claim of objection to the marriage (Father was never presented aswitness).Mere words without any corresponding intention will not create the marriagerelation. Notwithstanding that the formalities indicating consent have been complied with, there is no valid marriage where the parties do not intend to enter the marriage.

2. NO. While a marriage effected by force or intimidation may be ratified and confirmed bycohabitation, suchcohabitation must be voluntary. It is clear from Juanita’s testimony thatthere was no voluntary cohabitation on her part and she was never acquiesced to the statusof wife.

Article 45 of the Family Code provides that a marriage may be annulled for any of the following causes, existing at the time of the marriage:

Lack of Parental Consent

Insanity

Consent was obtained thru Fraud

Consent was obtained thru Force, Intimidation, and Undue Influence

Impotence

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
