Failed Marriage Or Divorce

Previously, the problem of divorce was in the center of a legal battle, either as official law or to delete it. One thing is certain: with the possibility of a divorce, a new social morality began to take shape.

Suddenly, the woman had the same right to initiate divorce. The couple changed their meaning: an eternal obligation became an equal partnership in order to achieve happiness and satisfaction. In other words, people stopped marriage from a social need.

The contract could be left undone and the possibility of remarriage. Divorce promotes the idea that happiness is the purpose of marriage and if the difficulties and obstacles appear, then the only solution is divorce.

Therefore, from the possibility of divorce, the image of marriage has changed from a prison to be a rational decision. However, they formed two camps: on one hand, we who oppose the idea of ​​a divorce (church, writers, moralists) and on the other hand, those who embrace this possibility.

The battle between the two sides have political overtones, ideological and literary. After the events from the French Revolution (1789), divorce was officially launched in France. The enemy of divorce was the church that for centuries had preached that marriage was unshakable. Was very difficult to stand in a time when farmers wanted to get married because the bride was a virgin, but the wedding night does not happen to her husband, but the lord of the manor.

Even after Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the emperors were opposed to marriage for life. Until the divorce was introduced in France, failed marriages were forced to continue.

The recognition of a separation was rarely possible and allowed only very wealthy couples. There was also a recognition of separation as a fact (the traditional situation of a woman whose husband left one day and never returned), but it was only in desperate cases. However, if this occurs, remarriage was forbidden.

A requirement for marriage was that women have patience with the bad behavior of her husband. The law passed in 1792 was the work of philosophers. Montesquieu considers the indissoluble character of marriage is the source of a strip ratio. At that time, divorce was not requested in Paris and less on the field. Once legalized, was a huge success. Statistics show that in the first three months after the law, in Paris there were 572 divorces. In subsequent years, the phenomenon spread to the point that there is more divorce than marriages.

One reason behind this is that the law was too permissive. For example, couples, sometimes under the guidance of a lawyer often would write a letter to be insulting to justify after the divorce.

This attitude began to attract attention of the Government. A compromise was reached in 1804 with the introduction of the Civil Code of Napoleon. Discouraged Code requirements.

Survived divorce, was not abolished, however, was limited for several reasons. At first it was seen as the remedy for a greater evil, but should be taken with caution

Since then many changes have been made. Now we have people who get divorced until 6 or 7 times. Consequently, the institution of marriage is not very good. The idea of ​​divorce discourages many even considering marriage. However, if two people get together, if you accept one another in their hearts, if they understand that it is them against the rest, if you always discover new things about each other, if they see things that make something always be different even though it is not ... that is truly amazing.
