Italy's quick-divorce law takes effect
April 23, 2015
A new Italian law allowing quick divorces took effect on April 22.
The new law, which allows for a divorce to become final in six months if both parties consent, had passed with the support of politicians from across the political spectrum, with only the Northern League providing organized opposition. Supporters claimed that the new policy would end lingering conflicts, making it a "step forward for civil society."

Ciao, bambini. At a well-below-replacement birth rate 1.43, soon there will be no Italians left to divorce each other, or marry, whatever.

It is a shame. They apparently did not learn anything from the history and affects in the United States.
