Divorce

The first proposal from a civil court on the legalisation of divorce dates back to 1920. In 1983, the socialist government introduced a law to institute an automatic divorce that is granted after a period of separation of 4 years. The Church was strongly opposed but in the end was forced to back down from its position.
