Marriage is immediate after two persons consent, divorce must be INSTANT in danger.
Why this petition matters
In Guyana many abuse on women are not reported because of many different reasons. Recently, a lot of women has been killed or injured by their husbands or male partner. Since it is easy to get marry by a single process which involves the signing of a paper, in a similar way a divorce must be a SINGLE PROCESS to avoid further conflicts. Especially because if such a decision is not made TIMELY, it can result in the continuation of the abuse or the materialisation of existing risk. This will only endanger the lives of the parties involved and also put the children at risk. A system must be put in place where a woman should be able to get all the help she needs from ONE SINGLE LOCATION. As currently many women does not know that if they cannot afford to pay a lawyer, they can just go to the registry and fill a form and file an application. This is not safe nor efficient though cheap. She would still be in the same proximity with the abuser until this unnecessary long process continues. Betterment must come for the women of Guyana and across the world.
Divorce must be INSTANT as long as she wants it !!!!!
