Preferred term

informal divorce  

Definition

  • Many technical expressions are used in everyday life with different meanings, with the result that colloquial words often arise out of specific terms. Such a linguistic process has been reversed in the case of “informal divorce.” Having emerged as an outcome of informal marriage, informal divorce has now become a legally recognized form of marriage dissolution.
