An Act Promoting Gender Equality by Amending Discriminatory Provisions Against Women, Amending for the Purpose Articles 14, 96, 124, 211, and 225 of the Family Code, Repealing Articles 247, 333, and 334 of the Revised Penal Code, and Adding New Articles to the Revised Penal Code, and for Other Purposes
The bill rewrites several family‑law rules so that husbands and wives share property, parental authority, and legal guardianship equally, removes old laws that treated men more harshly for “catch‑your‑spouse‑in‑the‑act” killings, and creates a gender‑neutral crime of marital infidelity with a five‑year filing limit.
