The document discusses divorce and defines it as the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court. Divorce can occur due to conflicts between partners or a mismatch in expectations. Those involved in divorce are married couples who can no longer live together and face difficulties, as well as any children of the divorce who may struggle with parental choices. Divorce impacts society through changing attitudes about marriage and lower birth rates as people are wary of having children that could experience divorce. Efforts to address divorce include counseling, education programs, and laws aimed at preventing hastily decided divorces.
