The extension of civil marriage, union, and domestic partnership rights to same-sex couples in various jurisdictions can raise legal issues upon dissolution of these unions that are not experienced by opposite-sex couples.

Famous quotes containing the words divorce and/or couples:

    In a world where women work three times as hard for half as much, our achievement has been denigrated, both marriage and divorce have turned against us, our motherhood has been used as an obstacle to our success, our passion as a trap, our empathy for others as an excuse to underpay us.
    Erica Jong (20th century)

    Could that old god rise up again
    We’d drink a can or two,
    And out and lay our leadership
    On country and on town,
    Throw likely couples into bed
    And knock the others down.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
