In Ireland, the Charter 1937 explicitly prohibits divorce. 1986, the repeal of the divorce law was rejected by referendum. Until 1995, the opposition of the local church was ruled out, and the proposal to abolish the divorce law was put forward again. The support rate is about 58%, and it is in favor of abolishing the marriage law. 1997 came into effect.
Extended data:
Catholicism is the main religion in Ireland, accounting for about 92% of the population. Ireland is one of the few religious countries in Europe. 1973 attendance at regular mass is over 90%. Catholicism is the basic point of Irish social form and lifestyle, and divorce and abortion are rare. But religion tends to decline.
From 1996 to 200 1, the attendance rate of regular mass dropped from 60% to 48%, but it was still much higher than most European countries. From 65438 to 0990, the Catholic Church also experienced a series of sex scandals. 1995, the Irish referendum decided to abolish a 58-year-old divorce law with a voting rate of 50.28%.
One of the most important conditions is that couples applying for divorce must live apart for more than four years, which is the only criterion for divorce judgment in Ireland, so the divorce conditions in Ireland are still stricter than those in other regions.
