Meaning:
Divorcement refers to the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court, resulting in the termination of the marital relationship and its associated rights and obligations.
Origin:
The concept of divorce has existed for centuries, with varying practices and laws across different cultures. The Roman Empire introduced the first formalized divorce process in the 1st century BCE. It allowed for divorce on grounds such as adultery, abandonment, and incompatibility.
In medieval Europe, divorce was not easily accessible and was generally reserved for cases of extreme hardship or annulment. The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century brought about more liberal divorce laws in some countries, allowing for divorce on grounds such as mental cruelty and abandonment.
Today, most modern legal systems recognize and regulate divorce, providing legal procedures for the dissolution of marriage and the division of property, debts, and child custody.
