| Message | We need less divorce, not more. I don't believe we should deny a divorce if there is a good reason (abuse, neglect, etc...), and the current law allows for that. Your proposal opens the floodgates for the wishy washy and unsure. Some people have been married and divorced to the same person several times! This sort of unnecessary philandering should be discouraged. Marriage is a Holy institution, and should be treated with respect. |

| Message | Denying necessary divorce is likely to increase the violence and murder rate in Beluzia and Bailon so I"m with the proposal. |
| Date | 18:33:08, August 07, 2006 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Legalised Divorce |
| Message | the current law does not deny necessary divorce. |

| Message | Yes, technically you are right - it doesn't. However it's criteria is restricted and as far as relationships go not in the least bit realistic in modern society. Marriage is a communion, but it's not a ball and chain (at least, technically speaking). |

| Message | Modern relationships are not marriage. Marriage is a religious tradition, not something to take lightly. You should not be allowed to marry without good reason, nor divorce without one. Families are important. |

| Message | But you forget; we are moving progressively towards a secular society. Religion can be practiced but the days of theocratic rule are over I am afraid. Welcome to the real world! |

| Message | No. You are attempting to betray God fearing Beluzians to your nihilist slave religion, but the People will not accept your forign devils as their master! |
