Sun Xueling on Women's Charter (Amendment) Bill
If both husband and wife agree that their marriage has broken down irretrievably, it can be counted as ground for divorce. They must state the attempts they have made at reconciliation, as well as plans on their financial matters and children after they have parted ways. Such an arrangement would help to reduce acrimony and better allow the family to heal and move on. This "therapeutic justice" was among several proposed changes to the Women's Charter (Amendment) Bill outlined by Minister of State for Social and Family Development Sun Xueling in Parliament on Monday (Jan 10). She said the amendments aim to make the marriage process more couple-centric, strengthen the divorce process and update the provisions and terminology in the Women's Charter to better reflect the progress of women.
