FEATURED ITEM FOR NATIONAL CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING DAY

NATIONAL CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING DAY:  A BRIEF HISTORY OF DIVORCE

Divorce, the legal dissolution of a marriage, has evolved significantly over millennia. In ancient Mesopotamia, Hammurabi’s Code allowed divorce under specific conditions. Roman law permitted both men and women to initiate divorce, reflecting a relatively progressive stance. However, with the rise of Christianity, divorce became highly restricted; the Catholic Church deemed marriage a sacrament, allowing only annulments under specific circumstances. During the medieval period in Europe, divorce was exceedingly rare.

The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century marked a turning point. Reformers like Martin Luther and Henry VIII challenged the Catholic Church’s stringent stance, advocating for divorce in cases such as adultery and abandonment. The 19th century witnessed gradual legal reforms, making divorce more accessible, particularly in Western countries.

The 20th century brought significant liberalization of divorce laws, influenced by changing societal attitudes towards marriage and gender equality. Today, divorce laws continue to evolve, striving to balance the interests of both parties while considering the welfare of any children involved.
