Better second-guess that, Kenneth – I think Jesus’ brothers and sisters are actually mentioned somewhere in the Bible but I need someone much more knowledgeable than me to say where.

If they are both omnipresent, then they must be in Borg in-Nadur as well, hence not an impostor.

Jo, how is Ginger being demeaning, intolerant or insulting? He has just described the state of affairs as it appears in the gospels. Get off your self-righteous horse and stop being so childishly touchy. Intolerant indeed!

The difference was that in the first couple of years of my disastrous first marriage I had two children.

Although my ex remained in Malta I was still able to get a divorce while in the UK for a short while, thanks to which I was able to remarry and enjoy over 30 years of a happy and lasting relationship.

I have maintained my commitment to my children ever since. They returned under my (our) wings in no time at all.

I would rather not give an account of my experience with the Catholic tribunal in Malta. It was a disgrace.

Ginger, you might be an agnostic or atheist or whatever – it’s your prerogative. However, insulting and demeaning references to Our Lady do not make your arguments any stronger, to me it just shows how intollerant you are.

In my childhood the phrase Mawmettu Hanzir was often spoken. Nowadays you never ever hear it. We have come to respect other peoples’ beliefs – up to a point. We all have a lot to learn.

By the way I shall be voting Yes.

exactly, this referendum is about a NO-FAULT divorce, very different from a reponsible, consensual divorce as agreed by the couple in this article. Please vote NO. I am in favour of divorce and will vote YES if a future referendum question is worded “Do you agree with a FAULT or CONSENSUAL divorce?”

Well mine did. Very easily done with the right lawyer. And I did absolutely nothing, my spouse was the cheater, and the abuser. Where does that leave me? How do I get to see my toddler? Have you thought this one through? Please vote NO.

[Daphne – You’re inventing stuff. Aren’t you the one who had seven children, three years ago?]

exactly, this article is irrelevant since the JPO propsed divorce is unilateral and not consensual. The IVA keep ignoring this fact. The party at fault can just as easily divorce the innocent party with just one short email.

The law in Malta is senseless, your spouse can throw you out after 25 years of marriage with just a text message, with no reason, no notice and with no compensation. With divorce this will be even more cruel.

[Daphne – Rubbish. Neither spouse can ‘throw the other out’ of the marital home, even if s/he owns it 100%. And no matter what the other spouse has done.]

“Ta’ pajjizna li ma jdumx ma jaghti ezempju lid-dinja.”

So it is true that Malta will reinvent the wheel. Hooray
