Common Law

Here is another interesting law; a Filipino friend just sent it to me;

Philippines Article 332 of the Revised Penal Code states that “No criminal, but only civil liability shall result from the commission of the crime of theft, swindling, or malicious mischief committed or caused mutually by the following persons: 1. Spouses, ascendants and descendants, or relatives by affinity in the same line; 2. The widowed spouse with respect to the property which belonged to the deceased spouse before the same shall have passed into the possession of another; and 3. Brothers and sisters and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, if living together.

As to why the offended party cannot pursue criminal charges, it is on the ground of preserving family harmony and solidarity.

So your wife and her family can cheat you and steal from you and they do not commit a crime...

Unfortunately some of us do have the information already, loud and clear brother, loud and clear.

So it seem we need to live far enough from them - or let them shoot us in the leg  :mocking:
