The Supreme Court in the Phillipines has held that in determining whether marital infidelity caused psychological violence under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act (Anti-VAWC Act), criminal intent is presumed in the act of marital infidelity.
This means that, in cases of marital infidelity, the requirement of specific criminal intent to cause mental and emotional suffering is already satisfied once the offender commits the act of infidelity. This is because marital infidelity is inherently wrong under current social, cultural, and religious norms. sc.judiciary.gov.ph
