This indicates that Malta has stricter divorce laws compared to the other countries listed.

    Which of these countries has terminated fault divorce as a ground for divorce?

    • Greece

    • Switzerland

    • Canada

    • Malaysia

    Correct Answer
    A. Switzerland
    Explanation
    Switzerland has terminated fault divorce as a ground for divorce. This means that in Switzerland, couples can no longer use reasons such as adultery or cruelty as a basis for divorce. Instead, Switzerland has adopted a no-fault divorce system, where couples can simply state that their marriage has irretrievably broken down. This change reflects a shift towards more modern and progressive divorce laws, focusing on the dissolution of the marriage rather than assigning blame to one party.

    • Greece

    • India

    • Philippines

    • Saudi Arabia
