Zwieg bla Divorzju insists Moviment Iva wants divorce 'without reason'

Anti-divorce lobby Zwieg Bla Divorzju is insisting that the pro-divorce camp Moviment Iva has "confirmed" that the draft divorce bill leads to “unjustified” and “imposed” divorce.

The anti-divorce lobby has claimed that the divorce draft bill will allow spouses to file for divorce in court "without giving any reason and obtain a divorce, even if the other spouse and her children might not want this.

Zwieg bla Divorzju has refuted claims that it is deliberately mistranslating the notion of a 'no fault divorce' as a "divorce without reason".

On Monday, MaltaToday asked Zwieg bla Divorju spokesperson Arthur Galea Salomone to justify the anti-divorce movement’s emphasis on the notion of a ‘no reason divorce’ and how this is any different from current separation laws which equally require no justification.

He was evasive in his answers. "If you want us to start talking about the differences between separation and divorce, we can..." and went to illustrate further his movement's arguments against divorce.

Zwieg Bla Divorzju today reiterated its claim that 'divorce without reason' was a “grave injustice” which the pro-divorce movement is trying to impose on the Maltese and Gozitan people.

It said that the pro-divorce lobby is also trying to mislead the public by saying that maintenance would be guaranteed.

People will still separate divorce and cohabit regardless of their faith or whatever it is they believe in ..it is a fact all round the world and Malta is not immune to it .but a NO FAULT divorce is of the utmost importance for the kids sake so they don't have to be in the middle and don't have to be forced in taking sides for one parent or the other , nothing can be more hurtful for the kids to be put in such a position. so lets think of the kids well being mentally and physically and not add to their hurt . kids still love both mum and dad even after a separation or divorce so lets help the kids and make them priority and keep them out of the farce that is happening in Malta right now.

"The anti-divorce lobby has claimed that the divorce draft bill will allow spouses to file for divorce in court "without giving any reason and obtain a divorce, even if the other spouse and her children might not want this." Up to the present day in Malta, without having the divorce bill, can any sane person say that neither of the spouses can leave the other spouse and children, if any? We already heard one too many, but I still wonder how many more illogical statements the anti-divorce camp can come up with! What they lack in logic they surely make up for in fervid imagination.

Well done Dr. Schembri - actually we are dealing with a Le movement with people who are hypocrites, use double standards and with no concept of love - except when they deem fit to 'use' it. They don't know what love means as they have a stone for a heart. They use the word love due to expediency nothing else. Otherwise the 'love thy neighbour' concept for them is a taboo - the love through tolerance, through seeing other people happy is non-existant. They militate within a religious sphere which when one goes back in time one realizes that what this institution stands for is not love but hate and divide, not love but power, not love but discrimination, not love but arrogance, not love but imposition. Obviously i'm speaking about the Le movement in conjunction with the Inquisitors within the den of thieves and liars i.e. The Roman Catholic Curia!!!

Dr.Deborah Consider that phrase in a billboard : Take away our hearts of stone, and give us a heart of flesh. A Yes Vote to implement a caring, concerned and compassionate response to marital breakdowns. I hope that you will make every effect to give a resounding YES on the 28th of May to civil rights, compassion,generosity and courageous concern

what victory ? with the yes or no wins, the marital breakdowns will still continue to be, you can make laws, but you will never control the people. It's the law of nature, life is always changing, the country needs to be updated with laws according to the people's needs. ****************** Article 18. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. ********************************** BANNING UMBRELLAS DOES NOT STOPS RAIN. BANNING DIVORCE DOES NOT STOPS MARITAL BREAKDOWN. Time will always tell, who is mentally sane , knows that we do not have a divorce law, and still there are thousands of legally seperated families. It's all about selfishness, greed and hatred towards your neighbour, so in your green heart, you will say"hekk pogguti" that is one of the reasons of the NO voters. than there aer the superstitious people who still belives in getting olive leaves from the church (some still believe it is a protection against the evil eye) and soem are frightened by lies (eternal damnation) the eternal damnation is in their heart, cause what comes out from the mouth , comes from your heart. ****************************** Article 16. (1) Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. (2) Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. (3) The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

The only thing which is "without reason" in this whole charade is the way Zwieg Bla Divorzju wants to impose the views and moral outlook of its leaders and members on the rest of the country.

The NO campaign wants faith without reason.

Misleading may even be an understatement. Divorce as proposed can only be applied for after a couple have been living apart for a minimum of 4 years. Now if a couple have been apart that long it is obvious that the marriage is dead, which begs the question as to what type of persons wants to stay in a dead marriage. Besides, whoever files for divorce usually pick up the tab for the costs.

No matter how they twist and turn, no matter how much they prevaricate and play with words - "Divorzju bla Raġuni" is a phrase thought up by some spin-doctor whose only aim is to deceive and mislead. It ranks right up there with "friendly fire" (killed by your own side), "collateral damage" (slaughter of civilians) and "rightsizing" (sacking employees). People like Galea Salomone and Andrè Camilleri should be ashamed of themselves. I hope they realise they are throwing away a reputation for integrity built up over many years for a cheap gimmick. It's their funeral.
