Other Countries
In some entire countries, and in some jurisdictions,such as in Italy, an extended period of legal separation (for example, three years or five years) is required before a decree of full and divorce can be issued. This period of legal separation can be considered to be a part of the divorce procedure in some countries or some jurisdictions.
It needs to be noted that in some countries, the laws for marriage, separation, and divorce vary from state-to-state or province-to-province. Also, some countries, such as Russia, have large autonomous regions that make many of their own laws.

Famous quotes containing the word countries:
“In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us may realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
