Studying its consequences of the proposed divorce law was the best way for people to decide to vote no in Saturday's referendum, the youth anti-divorce group Le b'Rispett ghall-gejjieni said today.

Addressing a news conference, TV presenter Jean Claude Micallef, whose parents are separated, said the campaign had been characterised by movements appealing to the people's emotions, but it was reality and not slogans that counted.

He noted that an article of the proposed law stated that, in principle, one would stop receiving maintenance once he remarried. So where was the guarantee, he asked

"Only the harm caused to children could be guaranteed," Mr Micallef said.
