History tells us that in 1912 that is during the American regime Act No. 2710 was passed providing for the granting of absolute divorce on the grounds of adultery, concubinage and personal violence. However, when the laws was implemented, a number of safeguards were taken to ensure the preservation of marital bond and to prevent abuses, such as filing for divorce could not be done until a year after having established adultery or concubinage and within five years after the date occurred. This measure was resorted to in order to give the spouses a chance for reconciliation it was still possible during the period of waiting.

...ESL 1060-005 Junjie Huang (Tiya) Argument Paper 3rd Draft 11/15/2012 “Rainbow” Is Beautiful Recently, there is a popular status on Facebook and Twitter saying that a Chinese man and an English man get married and both of them are very handsome. They got a number of benedictions but some people felt it was unbelievable and disgusting. Same-sex marriage has been one of the most debated and controversial arguments in these recent years. Gay marriage is meaning that two same-sex people get married instead of a man and a woman gets married. As time goes by, more and more people are open-minded and accept gay marriage. However, there are still a number of people who cannot agree with gay marriage and even hate it. In the United States, some states have already legalized gay marriage but most states haven’t yet. Gay marriage should be legalized in the United States because homosexual love is a normal phenomenon, everyone has his own right to choose his marriage partner, and gay marriage legalization is good for the United States becoming a more democratic country. Traditional people think that a man should get married with a woman but should not get married with a man. Homosexual love is different from straight love. Because homosexual is different, people consider it a mental illness. Actually, homosexual love is a normal phenomenon. It has been proved that homosexual love is not mental illness. A gay’s gene distinguishes them from normal people’s gene and homosexual love...

Act I begins in modern day London (1895) the play opens with the lighthearted and well-to-do bachelor Algernon Moncrieff awaiting the arrival of his aunt, Lady Bracknell and cousin, Gwendolen Fairfax for a meal at his flat. Unexpectedly, his good friend, Ernest Worthing drops by to visit. Ernest announces to Algernon that he is going to ask for Gwendolen’s hand in marriage but before Algernon gives him his approval he mentions a mysterious inscription on Ernest’s cigarette case that says “From little Cecily with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack”(1601). Algernon demands to know who “Jack” and “Cecily” are. Ernest admits his real name is Jack and Ernest is the name of his fictional troublesome brother who he uses as an excuse to visit the city and Cecily is Jack’s ward that lives with him in the country. Algernon then confesses he is also a “Bunburyist”, (a name he has given to someone that leads a double life) and he often uses his invalid friend Bunbury as an excuse to leave his social obligations in the city. After a brief conversation between Jack and Algernon Lady Bracknell and Gwendolen arrive at Algernon’s home just in time for Jack’s proposal.

...before they get married. What is the pros and cons of it? This is a common and important question. Cohabitation -- living together without the commitment of marriage -- is on the rise. And it's a good idea to examine your fears and ask questions before making this important step. Although increasing numbers of individuals report less social stigma about cohabitation, many of the people who I've counseled ask these key questions: will living together lead to marriage and will it increase risk of divorce? What are your motivations for living together? Based on discussing this question, you may find out that your partner is simply trying to save money by sharing the rent. If you want to develop a deeper bond, and most significantly, you see cohabitation as a step toward marriage, these differing expectations may be a problem. Pros * Research about whether living together before marriage increases your risk for divorce is less definitive. It's unclear if it actually increases the risk. If individuals who cohabitate are at a slightly higher risk for divorce, it may not be because they lived together before marriage. It could speak more to their mindset about commitment in general. Is it just greater acceptance of divorce in general? Is it that people who live together have a weaker commitment to the institution of marriage? It depends on who you ask. * Learn to Live Together Before Breaking the Bank on a Wedding This is wayyyy easier said than done, because living together...

...Same-sex Marriage in Mainland China Sun Wenlin, the 26-year-old plaintiff, walked out of the court hand-in-hand with his partner, Hu Mingliang, and said he would appeal. Their case was heard at a court on April 13, 2016, in Furong district, Changsha city, Hunan province. The lawsuit was brought by the couple, who were challenging the decision of a local civil affairs bureau that had denied them the right to marry. The case was dismissed after an open hearing that lasted three hours and was held before an audience of nearly 200 people, including many journalists. It was the first case of its kind in China in which gay people had tested whether same-sex couples have the right to marry. While homosexuality is not illegal in China, same-sex marriage has not yet been explicitly legalized. Same-sex marriage, also known as gay marriage, is marriage between people of the same sex, either as a secular civil ceremony or in a religious setting. The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriages. Since then, same-sex marriages have been performed in more than 20 countries. Nowadays, in mainland China, no same-sex marriage or civil union is recognized. The Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China explicitly defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman. No other form of civil union is recognized. As early as two decades ago, homosexuality was a taboo subject. However, with social development, Chinese people have become more open-minded about a variety...

Alvarez ITT Technical Institute College of Drafting & Design EN 1320 Composition I The love we have among each other in our family goes above and beyond. What is the problem with that? In an ideal world, love conquers all. However, we do not live in an ideal world. If we lived in an ideal world, there would be no war, poverty, or hunger. All of our favorite sports team should have won all the championships in every sport. None of these have been accomplished yet, so this cannot possibly be an ideal world. This is unfortunate, but there are always solutions to life’s problems. No, the solutions do not lie with what money can buy. Some things seem too good to be true. Let’s picture this. A man has just met the woman of her dreams. She is everything he has ever dreamed about in a woman. He began dating her, and later on, he proposes to the woman of his dream. But there is one problem: She has a different religion and upbringing. What can he do? He love her so much, but there are obvious problems. People of different faiths getting married is so common these days that most do not even see it as a problem. A common issues from these type of marriages come upon is how to raise children in regards to religion.

For the final part of this report, the role of the Judiciary in the formulation and interpretation of legal rules. How (most) laws are made * Most new laws passed by Parliament result from proposals made by the government. * Proposals aim to shape society or address specific problems. * Normally, they ‘re created over a period of time An issue or problem emerges on the government's agenda Originally, a government's plan is well-informed by the general election. Politician parties compete for support from British voters by campaigning on their view for the country and how they would make things better for the UK and change things. The political party which wins the election then forms the government, and bases its legislative agenda on its election manifesto. But, where no single political party decisively wins the election - as happened in 2010 - two or more parties may form an alliance government. They might have to negotiate a joint vision and agree on which new laws to champion in the future of the parliament. Once in government, other events and effects also compete for ministers' attention. Unexpected crises...

...Imagine the day of your wedding, the day where you are taking another step into your life with your lifelong significant other. Often, this is the day of relief and happiness but this is completely the opposite of marriages in the Hmong community. In the Hmong community, marriage is a business transaction. The word for “to get married” in Hmong means “to buy”; marriage is a source of income. In preparatory to a wedding, both sides of the bride and groom will decide on the price of the bride. Women will have a price tag and men will have to pay the bride price. The bride price will range between $3,000 and $10,000. It may increase or decrease depending on the bride’s educational level, if she has no sisters, her reputation, her virginity, etc. Regarding a proposal, there are three ways a couple can initiate a wedding. The first option is a formal proposal, which means that the man and his family representatives will do a formal house call. They will...

...Running head: HEROINES Heroines Jane Austen- ENG 471 Abstract A heroine is a woman of strong emotional strength, character, moral standard and willpower. A heroine knows what she wants in life and she knows that she will not get their by settling for anything less. In the stories of Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood, Fanny Price, and Emma Woodhouse, this was just the case. They fought to overcome obstacles and challenges that they were faced with so that they could live happy and prosperous lives. In their own way they proved to be heroines. Introduction In my opinion, a heroine is a woman with emotional strength, character, moral standard and willpower. A heroine does not have to be the richest, smartest or prettiest, but she does have to have a sense of esteem. A heroine knows what she wants, as well as what she does not want and she knows how to go about getting it in her own way. This is a head strong woman who keeps her priorities in line with realistic measures and the things that will keep them being the strong women that they are. While reading the Jane Austen novels and watching the movies there were several heroines to consider. While they were all carried different situations and outcome when it came to relationships and family, they were all the same in being strong in character and their beliefs. It seemed as if they carried the personal motto: don’t settle for less in the matters of love and relationships and each heroine did just that. The heroines...

...Law of Contract The nature of contract law: The law relating to contracts is a subject matter of private law. The governing law of contracts is the Contract Act 1872, which is predominantly a private law. The public law, however, comes into play when the parties are at breach of contracts. For example, the courts can award damages/compensation for the breach of contract, which is an act of public law. Contract law is part of law of obligation, which has other sources such as law of torts which govern compensatory remedies for legal injuries arising out of breach of legal, not contractual, duties. An example of tort law is compensation for injury arising from the use of a faulty product, not based on a contract. Contract permeates every day business life. Business managers often need to enter into, and sometimes even draft, contracts with other enterprises or people. Sometimes, contracts give rise to disputes which need to be settled through courts or arbitration. A well-drafted contract however can minimize the rise of disputes, which in many ways depends upon the legal adviser’s or the manager’s knowledge about contract law. The contract law deals also with the laws of agency, partnership, and the sale of goods. Of these issues of contract law, contract law proper and the law of agency re governed by the Contract Act 1872, a British-era enactment. Definition of a contract: According to s. 2 (h) of the CA 1872 an agreement enforceable by law is a contract. Te...
