There are some countries that don't agree with the legalization of divorce. Personally, would you like it to be legal or not? What could be the advantages?

Personally I think that they should make it harder for people to get married. People get married for so many reasons, If it were harder then people wouldn't get divorced so easily.

There could be also an advantage in legalizing divorce like to those who married the wrong person. On the other hand I feel like it's not fair to legalize divorce after all a couple decided to get married for some reason. If divorce will be legalized they will abuse it and no marriage will last for long. Whatever happened to the exchange of their vows if it will be easily torn apart.

Divorce is legal in Canada and yes, I wouldn't have it any other way. Why would anyone have to spend their lives with someone who is totally wrong for them or abuse them? I don't think it is fair to anyone to have to stay in a marriage where there is no love or mutual agreement.

It is legal in most countries in some form or another right?
Is there any country that absolutely prohibits divoce/nullification
of marriage?

I think that divorce should be legal, and it is in the US. Sometimes people get married and it just doesn't work out.

I don't like the mentality that I may as well get married because if it doesn't work out I can get divorced~ these are just ignorant people.

That's why many couples gets married easily even if they don't know each other that long. Because they always thought that it's going to be easy for them to get separated when things didn't went well for them. It's like marriage is just a game to them.

Personally, I don't like divorce to be legalize. In the first place, getting married is a big decision to make. It is a long term commitment. We should expect the unexpected. If ever you get divorce, would you decide to marry again? If so, do you think the second marriage would be better than the first one?

Yes.

I would go for the legality of divorce. Why? It is because if you think that the relationship will not going to workout, why suffer both of you. Especially when you have kids and you argue oftentimes, it will leave emotional effects to the children.

This is an interesting discussion. After giving it some thought, I believe that legalizing divorce is advantageous because it protects the innocent party. Legalizing divorce provides guidelines for equitable distribution of assets and custody of children. Making divorce illegal could put lives in danger and increase poverty.

I don't approve to the legalization of divorce. Marriage is sacred. Couples must work for it. That is why, it is very important that you know your partner before marriage. If you have doubts then don't get marry yet. What do you think?

what if your husband is an alcoholic and beats you everyday?

what if he is having an affair?

what if he is an axe murderer?

Any contract should have an escape clause, and marriage is no different.
Almost all cultures have hidden somewhere a rule for divorce or annulment or separation. It may not be promulgate or openly known but it is always there.
Just cause and reasons are a major legal battle as to legalizing. Are women and children property? is the main question so many have trouble with. The answer from from all is no. But many don't see it as that.

Thank goodness woman's rights advocates are out there.
I did my own divorce here in the states. emancipation is the key to being able to escape and battle what has been a major problem.

That's why marriage should be planned well. Make sure that the one you're going to marry is the right person. Know your partners well so that it will not end in a disaster.

Absolutely, divorce should be legal.

And for those who think divorce is "an easy out," I am guessing have never gone through one.

My divorce was one of the roughest periods of my life. When it was over though, trust me, I was relieved.

A marriage isn't going to work if BOTH people aren't committed. My ex husband changed his mind about being committed to me and left. It was extremely painful, but I learned just how much of an a-hole he was and ended up meeting the most amazing man, who I plan to marry next fall.

I agree people should carefully select who they are marrying, but sometimes things change.

There are countries in which divorce is not accepted to be legalized.Somewhere in asia like the Philippines, divorce has no way of legalization.

Though not legalized, the mere fact ,couples who have been separated,should file annulment of their marriage before filing another mate for new marriage.

Honestly, i am separated with my husband for a about five years now..I am free now from the traumatic situation which i felt from my husband everytime he got mad before. There were considerations of our personal indifferences.

In a particular country where i live now, filing an annulment takes a long due process of law. Besides, it's very expensive. I came to decide to stay without partner.But,happy to stay with the kids.

Divorce is legal, but I wish so many people wouldn't go for the easy way. Couples should be made to work it out for like a year before they can be eligible for divorce.

I think there should be some sort of qualifications for a couple to get divorced incase it would be legalized here. Some of I heard aren't even that serious but got divorced because of some misunderstandings.

If that would be the case, why did you marry that person? I don't think people would commit to someone stranger to her/him. You have to help them, example if he is an axe murderer, tell the authorities. He has to suffer the consequences. However after that, it would somehow help him change if he still have a family to support him. In my opinion, divorce would still be not my option.

what if he was abusing your children? you still wouldn't divorce him?

right... stay with the axe murderer. He will surely be rehabilitated in prison... lol

statistically... prison doesn't help rehabilitate. I don't feel like looking for the numbers, but most people who go to prison or jail, end up back in prison or jail... they do not become productive members of society.

and off the prison thing here... people don't change... you may not have known how they really were because people always act differently. as they become more comfortable with their partner, they start showing their true character.

you shouldn't have to stay with somebody who is abusive in any way (physically, mentally, emotionally) just because you didn't know how they were before you were married.

Well it depends but my initial reaction would be no. But let us say this is a case to case basis scenario when it comes to divorces. if in cases where violence is already involve then it would be far more better for them to have them separated. what do you think?

Of course if there's violence involved the solution would be separation. How can you live a peaceful life if there's someone making your life miserable.
