MANILA—A majority of senators prefer to shorten the annulment process instead of passing a policy that would legalize divorce, Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri said Friday.

Most of the senators are not in favor of divorce, Zubiri told reporters when asked about his bill that sought to hasten the annulment process by automatically requiring the state to recognize annulments sanctioned by the Church and other religions.

Zubiri said his Senate Bill 1059 would be a better option as it will allow couples to leave unhappy marriages quicker, provided that they cite reasonable grounds for dissolving their marriage. Under the bill, civil registrars must update its records to reflect the new status of couples within 30 days after the Church annuls a marriage.
