Divorce is the total disintegration of a marriage union before the demise of either life partner. It includes the cancelation of legitimate obligations and exception from any past marital obligations or bonds between the said accomplices. After divorce, one's singlehood is legitimized and they are allowed to remarry.
Legal Seperation and Divorce are distinct concepts. Legal Separation is temporary in nature, whereas, Divorce is permanent and more severe in nature. Legitimate separation offers an entryway to decide on divorce, if the distinctions turn out to be beyond reconciliation. With an invalidation in marriage, there is no optional methodology to experience.
To put things simply: Legal Separation – Marriage is in coma
Divorce – Marriage is dead
