In reply to John Schembri. The wife is my work colleague not the husband. And your theory about stepmothers should also apply for the second wife or husband of a divorcee. In general. [Daphne - Of course it does. That's what a stepmother is.]

In reply to Kenneth Cassar. Granted, but then why would one need divorce if he or she wan’t re-marry? Divorce gives one the licence to re-marry.

Ronnie, look up and get an understanding of the word DESERVE. Look at it this way: if I do not vote then I deserve to be lumped with ‘what’ gets elected because I did not take a stand.
Voting for the lesser of two evils does not mean I deserve to be governed by whoever wins. It just means I have to put up with them for a term.

In reply to John Schembri. That 'attention-seeking' child also has a dead mother.

Recent studies have shown that this blog is contributing to marriage break-up. The findings, published in the New England Journal of Psychology, show that Maltese men are spending far too much time on Daphne’s blog, and their spouses are increasingly being pushed to seek alternative partners.

And waht do you say about the Yes campaign telling us that does women who suffer violence need divorce. I would rather say that they need annulment because with an annulment that men who commits violence would not be allowed to committhat crime again.

[Daphne – A man doesn’t need to marry a woman to beat her up.]

Factors contributing to Divorce

Quote: These socio-cultural trends later came to influence the passage of more liberal divorce laws. In turn,
easier divorce laws, such as those promulgated in 1968 and 1985, are followed by an increase in divorce
(see Table 2). Such laws signal the normalization of divorce: divorce lost its stigma and became
more socially acceptable. These cultural and legal factors have made it easier for people to be less
attached to marriage as an institution and consequently to turn to divorce as a solution.

The type of divorce introduced will influence the incidence of divorce. Thus a no-fault divorce such as this one proposed in malta is one of the causes of divorce

Thicko poser vs. duplicitous poser.

Still Hobson’s choice, I’m afraid.

[John Schembri – The difference between separation and divorce is that children will have a ‘new’ father or mother to live with, when their parents re-marry].

Wrong. That’s not the difference between separation and divorce, but between re-marriage and cohabitation.
