The Supreme Court (SC) reiterated that premarital sexual relations leading to pregnancy are not immoral and do not justify suspending an employee.

The SC ruled that Bohol Wisdom School (BWS), a Christian school, illegally suspended a grade school teacher for becoming pregnant outside marriage.

It held that sexual relations between two unmarried, consenting adults are not immoral. No law prohibits this, nor does it go against any fundamental state policy found in the Constitution.

The SC clarified that under the law, the standard of morality applicable to all is public and secular, not religious.

Public and secular morality refers to conduct that is prohibited due to its harmful effects on human society rather than being based on religious beliefs.

The SC held that if the government were to otherwise base public policies and morals on religious beliefs, this would require everyone to conform to a religious program or agenda.

As the teacher’s pregnancy cannot be considered immoral, it was not a valid ground for her suspension.

The SC ordered BWS to pay the teacher backwages and benefits due her during the period she was suspended.

The Decision was from the Supreme Court’s First Division, written by Associate Justice Ricardo R. Rosario.
