In my country there is no divorce law,only legal separation and annulment of marriage,for me divorce is not necessary as it can be avoided before parties decides to get married...a lifestyle check will do,honesty to ones spouse to be would greatly help...i mean since people who intends to get married are presumed to be mature enough to know when to enter into it or not...whether they are prepare to make the sacrifice or not...whether they are prepared to nurture thier children or not..and whether they are financialy prepared or not....in my opinion a divorse law is merely an excuse for ones immaturity,and dishonesty...it only supports deceit as a means to grab unlawfully the rights of another person...WHAT SAYETH YOU PEOPLE! PEACE!

Yes, divorce is legal overhere. And people use it! I think marriage is needless. I was married, I divorced, now I live with my boyfriend for more than 2 years. We raise together my son. We are a happy family. We do not think that we should marry.. A lot of people are thinking in this way. Couples have children, they live as a family, but they think marriage is needless. They/ we have common home, money, car, why should we marry? We are glad. We do not need that document for anything, only to the divorce :DDD

He has 2 fathers. But I have to say in his group in the kindergarten there are 28 children. When he began to attend the kidnergarten there were only 2-3 children who did not live in a "normal" family. 4 years later there are ONLY 2-3 children in his group who lives with his/her mother and father. 22 couples divorced!!! So, his life is not special at all. The most children's parents divorce by the time they get to school. I am serious. I'm not kidding So, regarding this, my son lives in a family, he has two fathers. Both his fathers loves him. Of course he knows who is his real father. And he doesn't say Daddy to both. But he accepts my boyfriend as if he were his father, I see. That is good.

yeah my friend i got your point...and its well explained based on experience...but i believe your child would have a problem with regards to the real father and specially in school and to his/her peers and community?i still dont have a child and certainly divorse here is not permitted(not yet married)because these are some bad but inevitable effects of divorce..woulnt that be a problem for you?how would you approach it?

You and your child are one of a kind...but this situation does not happen generally...still some children in other places suffer the seriousness of the effects of divorce...may be in your case you are both good parents to your child...that i may say is unique in every angle...any way correct me if im wrong in my opinion...coz i still dont have a family of my own and mine opinion is based on documents and parer repors/surveys and research which is more inferior compare to personal experience...thanks for such an interestin sharing of experience...i will be reminded of such opinion...very well taken and reasonable...peace!more blessings.happy posting!

In my country, divorce is legal, people can do what they want to do. there have two people marry yesterday, and divorce today, the marrigae only exist one day. Of cause it is not popular, the rate of divorce is about 3% in my country, it is higher than before, more and more people want to seek a better people to set up a new family. I don't agree divorce, if do it, why married? I think to avoid it is to understand more about the others.

divorce is legal in my country as in their religion divorce is prohibited and people or couple who divorce in their marriage is really hated by God. Many people in my country divorce in their marriage, i don't know what happen to them that makes the divorce. I think divorce is not a good act as if you have child who will be taking care their children and what about the future of their child and what their thinking about their parents which was divorced.

you have a very good point there my friend...you see all these situation regarding the children can be prevented if only those married (and soon to be married)couples have the right mind before entering into it...my opinion is divorse law is a double edge sword..cuts both ways..freedom of choice on one hand and glorifying and damaging the integrity of a family united by god on the other...peace thanks for your opinion.

your countrys laws is far more different than that of ours...but just the same i think broken marriage leading to divorce may be prevented by sound and mature decision making.the law is there to regulate actions of individuals...i dont know bout your laws there but i dont think our law on divorce abets deciet or any bad motive because it is strictly implemented here..
