No More Divorce. --20110812

I hope the information I got from the internet was is accurate. There was a regulation law in Ireland that a couple could not cannot divorce after their are married. they got married. Unforytunately the custom this has been annulled in 1995. Love is not only a feeling, but also the responsibility. I wish more and more countries can make rules laws to lower the divorce rate.

This is correct.  Catholics frown on divorces.  However read in history how special dispensations can be granted to the rich and powerful.  Just look at King Henry VIII of England!  The young and religious fanatics agree.  The young have never experienced all walks of life and the fanatics never see the other side of another's point of view.  Muslims see us as infidels because we eat pork.  Hindus frown on us for eating beef.  That's their point of view and should not impose on us.  Therefore I strongly disagree with you Sunny.  People change.  They may be in love due to their raging hormones.  Then they found that after the physical aspects, there is no emotional connection.  Rather than making each other miserable for their rest of the lives, divorce is the best choice.  If divorce is not allowed, then one unexpected outcome is that there will be more extra-marital sex!  Let me put this this way, you inspect your meat first in the supermarket before buying!  Your face is your matchmaker and all that comes later is the glue to hold the bridge together.  You will never give a person any chance to find out more if the person does not attract you.  So let's be honest and understand human nature.  What we are talking about is the assumption that that two people are mutually interested.  How about those countries that still have pre-arranged marriages by parents in the Islamic world.  China was once that way too.  Even now, there is much family pressure etc.  There are so many cases.  Here's an extreme example, you married a guy.  Then you find out that he is impotent.  Then what?  Keeping a marriage together for the sake of the kids is damn stupid.  Come back to this essay of yours in 10 years or perhaps in 20 years time.  See if you still have the same thoughts.  I hope you won't! I wish you have a happy marriage but until you have experience life, such extremist views are impractical.

爱尔兰、 一个不离婚的国家、一个一百年的约定。
爱尔兰、禁止离婚的国家——只有死亡让我们分开。
也许你没想到,在今天的世界上,竟然还有国家禁止离婚。
爱尔兰的法律规定,男女结婚后即不许离婚。男女结婚时
需在教堂里互相承诺:“只有死亡让我们分开”，因此无
论何种原因离婚(即使配偶去世也不例外),都视为违背誓
言而不被允许。
除了爱尔兰,菲律宾、马耳他、巴拉圭、安道尔和圣马力
诺5个国家的法律也不准离婚。
与其他禁止离婚的国家不同,爱尔兰人以高度的智慧,创造
了一种兼顾传统和自由的婚姻制度。男女双方在结婚时,
可以协商婚姻关系的期限,从1年到100年不等。期限届满后,
若有继续生活的意愿,可以办理延期登记手续,否则婚姻关系
自动解除。办理结婚登记的费用,也因婚期的长短而不同,
如果婚期为1年,需要2000英镑,如果婚期为100年,则仅仅只
需要0.5英镑。
在爱尔兰,还有一件耐人寻味的事情。
婚期不同,结婚证书也是不一样的。
婚期为1年的新人,
得到的是厚如百科全书般的两大本结婚证书,
里面逐条逐项列举了男女双方的各项权利和义务,
可谓一部完善的家庭相处条例;
而婚期为100年的新人,
得到的结婚证书只是一张纸条,
上面写着市首席法官的祝福
——尊敬的先生、太太:
我不知道我的
左手对右手,
右腿对左腿,
左眼对右眼,
右脑对左脑
究竟应该承担起怎样的责任和义务?
其实他们本来就是一个整体,
只因为彼此的存在而存在,
因为彼此的快乐而快乐。
这就是爱尔兰、
那个一百年的约定。
