6 months agoAs ridiculous as this law is, it seems like the article makes out that not being able to get divorced means more domestic violence but I don’t quite understand the implication. You can still move out/leave whether a piece of paper says you’re married or not, right?
H returned to the house she shared with her abuser, sleeping in her child’s room on the floor and continuing to face violence
Why did she return? So if she was told she could get divorced would she have returned?
Good point, I didn’t think about that aspect
