How does religion mesh with divorce?

Many countries in Europe, such as France, once prohibited divorce, as it is not condoned by the Roman Catholic Church. Sometimes citizens travelled to other jurisdictions to obtain a divorce. No Catholic Church will remarry divorced persons, unless they previously have their marriage annulled, which is only possible in some circumstances.

In Islam, divorce is allowed. Islam considers marriage to be a legal contract; and the act of obtaining a divorce is essentially the act of legally dissolving the contract.

Judaism has always accepted divorce as a fact of life, though an unfortunate one: eg, see Deuteronomy chapters 22 and 24. Judaism generally maintains that it is better for a couple to divorce than to remain together in a state of bitterness and strife. It is said that peace in the home is a desirable state.

When a state legalizes divorce does that violate the freedom of religion of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful?

A:There are some who believe that the religious beliefs that they hold entitle them to interfere in the rights of others, but would deny the rights of those who might follow different religious beliefs the right to meddle in their own affairs. Such people will never be satisfied and it is fruitless to seek common ground. Legalising divorce does not violate the religious freedom of those whose religion says that divorce is sinful, because it does not mandate that all couples must undergo divorce. On the other hand, failure to legalise divorce would violate the religious freedom of those who do not believe that divorce is sinful, or who believe that in certain circumstances divorce is the greater good.
