response: Not exactly, but one thing that people seem to confuse divorce with is annulment, which declares the marriage null and void.
history: Can you give me more information about a divorce? Sure! Divorce is essentially the termination of a marriage between two people. How does one get a divorce? Well, it varies from location to location, but usually a court has to sanction the divorce. What else would you like to know? How long have people been getting divorced? I'm not sure, but the reasons can vary from sexual incompatibility to lack of independence. Do you have any statistics about divorce?
knowledge: Divorce should not be confused with annulment, which declares the marriage null and void; with legal separation or ''de jure'' separation (a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a ''de facto'' separation while remaining legally married) or with ''de facto separation'' (a process where the spouses informally stop cohabiting).
