In the antiquity of history Divorce existed dating back to ancient civilations of Mesopotamia. Ancient Athenians liberally allowed couples to divorce, the one that requests for a divorce had to submit the divorce request to a Magistrate. The local Magistrate would review the request and make a determination of whether the reasons for divorce were sufficient for the Magistrate to allow the couple request to conclude with divorce.
In early Roman empire Divorce was rare in the culture of the time. In the progression of the Roman empire grew in power and authority, Roman civil law embraced the maxim, “matrimonia debent esse libera” (”marriages ought to be free”). Renouncing a marriage could be done at will via the husband or wife. The Roman civil authority very rarely intervened in divorces, the cultures social and familial taboos guaranteed that a couples divorce would occur only after serious circumspection.
