Twenty years ago, in my country divorce was a myth! Well, not actually a myth but a taboo. It happens in the entire world that people get married and then realize that they made a mistake, this leading to divorces. In Albania this was “forbidden”. People weren’t allowed to make mistakes. Even though, for example, a woman was beaten by her husband every day, she didn’t have the right to ask for divorce, she had to stay loyal to the “agreement” they made.
Getting divorced had always worse consequences for women. She would have been seen in a different way from everybody that knew her. The fact that she got divorced would lead to people thinking that she is a b…., and that is WRONG! And what is worst, she would find it really, really difficult to find another husband (at least a normal one), only because of the wrong opinion of the people.
Now, times have changed and people have changed. Divorce now is a normal thing, and it have helped many people repair their mistakes, because, yes, now people can make mistakes. Making mistakes is part of being human, and everybody needs a second chance in life.
