France set to make it easier to get divorced

France set to make it easier to get divorced

France’s Justice Minister is set to mull over a proposal that would simplify the divorce process for thousands of couples, by allowing them to separate without going before a judge. The plan, however, has its critics.

Those who strongly defend the institution of marriage in France may not be happy about a report that is set to be handed to Justice Minister Christiane Taubira this month.

The report recommends simplifying the divorce process for thousands of couples in France by allowing them to legally separate without having to go before a judge.

The proposal was revealed by France’s Le Figaro newspaper on Friday, which reports that only those couples where both partners consent to a divorce will be concerned by any change.
