Divorce Question

Interesting because in the UK, women initiate divorce far more than men.

It means that Filipina ladies married in Philippines to a British man would be more inclined to stay in the UK after a divorce in the UK is granted as the divorce would not be recognised in Phils.

Yes, provided that the marriage is recognised as being valid and legal in the jurisdiction wherein you petition for divorce. With the UK's Register no longer accepting "deposit" of foreign marriage certificates and the fact that the Philippines is not a signatory to the Hague Convention (whilst the UK is), the Court may decide not to recognise a NSO-issued certificate as being legal proof of marriage and therefore decline to hear a divorce petition.

My advice to you and K to marry in the Seamens' Mission in Hong Kong remains![

Well, that is what K wants (she may drop in here, but she is "watching" a very poorly four year old nephew in hospital at the moment) and the Rev Stephen Miller is happy with it so that is what will happen!
