Abstract
The increased divorce rate in the west is one of the consequences of the social revolution of the late twentieth century. The social and cultural revolution of the late 1960s and 1970s played a key role in reconfiguring women's and men's views of marriage and family life. Scholars have debated the implications of the “divorce revolution” and the social consequences of the liberalization of divorce laws. Specifically, the widespread change in divorce laws from a fault-based to a no-fault regime made divorce easier by requiring the consent of only one spouse to dissolve a marriage without any agreement or fault by the other.
