Divorce

 
 
Divorce is the legal ending of a marriage. The laws of most nations permit divorce only under certain circumstances. Divorce is restricted chiefly because it breaks up a family, the basic unit of society. Some countries, such as the Philippines, where Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion, prohibit divorce.

Most men and women who seek a divorce do so because they cannot solve certain problems in their marriage. Such problems may include differences in goals, financial difficulties, or a poor sexual relationship.
