consecutive day of protests. divorce laws in england and wales are to be reformed to make it easier for couples to split up without having to blame each other. the legal right for a husband or wife to contest a divorce will also be scrapped. critics of the current system say it often makes reconciliation harder, and can be damaging to children. but others say the changes will trivialise marriage. here's our legal correspondent, clive coleman. currently, when a marriage has irretrievably broken down, divorcing couples are forced to blame each other on the grounds of adultery, desertion, or behaviour which is intolerable to live with, or prove they've been separated for a minimum of two years, or five if one spouse doesn't agree. for decades, campaigners have been pressing the government to change the law, because they argue that when you're getting divorced, you're being torn apart emotionally and financially, trying to sort out living arrangements for your children, and so to throw fault and blame into the mix at that point is to make a bad situation a whole lot worse. amelia jacob is c
