MPs’ support for no-fault is ‘disappointing’, says marriage campaign group
from Christian Today:
Support in Parliament for plans to introduce no-fault divorce are “disappointing”, the Coalition for Marriage has said.
The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Bill seeks to make it easier for couples to divorce by removing the requirement for partners in a marriage to find “fault”, such as adultery or dissertion.
Alternatively, couples must live separately for at least two years before beginning divorce proceedings.
Further changes introduced by the Bill would remove the right of a partner to contest the divorce.
The reforms could see divorces granted in as little as six months.
The proposals were backed by MPs in the Bill’s second reading in Parliament last week. A Public Bill Committee is to take oral evidence on Tuesday.
The Coalition for Marriage said MPs have “misguidedly” given their backing to no-fault divorce and called the Bill a “marriage-wreckers’ charter”.
