In place of a system in which a spouse seeking divorce was obliged to prove that the other spouse had engaged in blameworthy behavior sufficient to terminate the marriage, no-fault divorce permitted termination of the marriage on the mere assertion by one spouse that the marriage had irretrievably broken down. 3, record 1, English, - no%2Dfault%20divorce

Le divorce sans égard à la faute se réfère habituellement à l’échec du mariage comme unique motif de divorce. Le «Family Law Act 1975» d’Australie est le prototype d’une loi autorisant le divorce sans égard à la faute. Cette loi ne reconnaît pas d’autres motifs de divorce que l’échec du mariage, lequel peut seulement être démontré par une séparation d’au moins un an. 3, record 1, French, - divorce%20sans%20%C3%A9gard%20%C3%A0%20la%20faute
