| Message | We would support this "Divorces are only legal with grounded cause", the proposed option makes divorce far too easy. Do the IA really want to be responsible for the creation of many broken homes? Do they really want to see potentially millions of children raised in this manner? |
| Date | 05:15:49, December 19, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Party | To | Debating the Divorce Legality |
| Message | People shouldnt be forced to stay together if they dont wish to be. This is usually how domestic violence, bigamy and child neglect occurs |
