Abstract
RUIZ MANOTAS, PAOLA. Divorce in Colombia since the XIX Century: Gender Differences and Political and Religious Influence. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2020, n.39, pp.109-139. Epub Nov 01, 2020. ISSN 0123-4366. https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n39.06.
In this paper I will describe how divorce has been regulated in Colombia, from the time of the Colony until the promulgation of the 1991 Constitution and Law 25 of 1992. I highlight political and religious factors that directly influenced these norms. Finally, I explain how this institution has contributed to the social positioning of women.
Keywords : divorce; marriage; legal norms; religion; politics; woman; Colombia.
