" A no-fault divorce such as is being proposed in the referndum is so more dignified and better for the whole family all round."

It is so very dignified for the mother to tell her children that she decided to leave her husband because her partner is much richer., has a better job, buys her more expensive presents etc.....

It is so dignified for the father to tell his children that he is leaving their mother because she is always tired and he likes to have fun., because his new partner is a better cook, better looking etc......

So dignified for the mother .......................

So dignified for the father ...............

I am sure that Dr Zahra knows that this " responsible no- fault divorce " can be filed for any stupid reason.

What is so dignified about this ?

Why should a responsible father , or mother find himself/ herself divorced just because his/ her selfish partner wants it ?

I am more than sure that Dr Zahra knows that although this no-fault divorce has been on the statute books in England since 1996 , it was never put into practice.

Critics of this no-fault divorce said that it was outrageous that no matter how bad a husband or wife's behaviour might be , and regardless of how unfaithfull , no blame could be attached.

And you call it dignified ?

The British Government was worried that this type of no-fault divorce would encourage divorce.

An English Judge said " under the no-fault act , it would have been easier to get out of a marriage than a hire purchase agreement "

And you call it dignified ??

Can you really say that this no-fault divorce is good " for children and ultimately, for society " ?

`But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication,`

``Fornication is had between two unmarried persons`

Make up your mind Joe, you may excell at copy paste, but your interpretation needs polishing up somewhat.


Let me ask you in vain, because you never answer or explain yourself anyway.

What if one decides to divorce and stay single?

What if one divorce and enters into soon to be legalized cohabitation?

What if one divorces and decides to become a Monk or a Priest? This has already happened here in Malta, and the person `with all due respect` was interviewed on TV
