By divine will the first marriage in history was proclaimed .. Adam and Eve. And by the will of man the legislator, the first divorce in history was proclaimed!!
Who were the first divorced couple?...
Can we ever know?
And from that day on, the chain has never broken: a marriage, then a divorce; a divorce, then a marriage ..
In 1948 the statistics in France showed that there were 57,000 divorces against 3,690,000 marriages .... And there is no doubt that this proportion was still higher in the United States, where one divorce is recorded for every four marriages.
In the last ten years, seven million young men in the United States have come forward seeking divorce for various reasons. Very often a lady files for divorce from her husband because he does not like listening to Chopin's music and prefers Mozart's, for example. Among the most curious divorce cases: a very respectable lady in Washington sought a divorce because her husband always wore neckties of one kind — blue with white dots — and at the very minute the judge was striking his gavel, proclaiming the wife's separation from her husband, this same lady was throwing herself into her husband's arms .. and we do not know whether that criminal
husband ever bought himself another necktie. Divorce in France, however, is a matter of greater difficulty: it is rarely granted except in certain cases — conjugal infidelity, desertion of the marital home, beating, grave insults. And in England, where divorce is permitted only in cases of infidelity, the wife or the husband never lacks some means of separation.
The divorce statistics show that separation occurs most often between the third and the ninth year after marriage, and rarely happens after that, since by then the bond between the spouses
has taken root.
