Abstract

In Mal 2021, Singapore reopened the discussion to introduce no-fault divorce into its divorce laws and sought the public's opinion on its consultation paper. This article posits that no-fault divorce is not against the best interests of society but is in the best interests of the family. This is because no-fault divorce can benefit parties (especially the children) and does not erode the sanctity Of mar-Wage. An empirical study of divorce in Hong Kong shows that there is no con relation between no-fault divorce and the increase in divorces. In a similar vein and in line with therapeutic justice, the authors also propose interdisciplinary measures to better support marriages and children to complement the introducdori of no-fault divorce in Singapore.
