Understanding the Concern
My brother, working for an NGO in a remote area, has encountered two minor girls in live-in relationships with older men. Despite limited resources, they are eager to help. Can the partners be held accountable under RA 11596?
Legal Implications of Live-in Relationships
RA 11596 prohibits child marriage, but what about minors in live-in relationships? The law aims to protect minors from exploitation and abuse, raising questions about the accountability of their partners.
Filing a Complaint
Can a concerned individual like a barangay official or social worker file a complaint on behalf of the girls? Understanding the legal avenues available to seek justice for minors in such situations is crucial.
