Yip Hon Weng on Women's Charter (Amendment) Bill
Normalise marriage counselling and make it more accessible, and mandate pre-divorce counselling even for couples with no children. These will help combat the belief that no-fault divorce will make divorce too easy, said MP Yip Hon Weng. Speaking on the Women’s Charter (Amendment) Bill in Parliament on Monday (Jan 10), he also asked for details on the assessment process for no-fault divorce applications. This included whether it would involve professionals in family affairs such as marriage counsellors and social workers who work with children, how long the process would take and if there will be avenues to appeal if rejected.
