I will forever be curious on what type of person do you need to be to vote no on something like this
That is shockingly close for something as basic as the ability to divorce, especially in 1995.
During a TV debate a member of the anti-divorce side called a pro-divorce activist a „wife-swapping sodomite“.
„If only we had that much fun“ he responded.
God we were such a backward shithole until surprisingly recently.
That late?! Damn …
great sucess, now people don’t have children and if they do they grow up in broken homes
Up until 2019, the constitution still required you to be separated for four of the last five years before you could divorce.
Far as I’m aware, no-fault divorce is still not allowed here.
It rained on voting day. If it hadn’t, more elderly people would have voted. Demographically, they were more likely to vote No.
I used to say „God doesn’t get a vote.“ But on that day, I wondered.
Church always held sway her but the 90s was the begining of the end for them thankfully, all their dirty laundry started to come centre stage between the mother and children homes and them actively covering up the actions of pedo priests it nuked church influence.
Most will still identify as Christian on a census but the only time id see a local church full is for a funeral or a wedding or the Polish Mass (the Poles are still big into the whole Catholicism thing but give it time, my Wife is Polish and her and your younger siblings and cousins are all dropping it like Ireland in the 90s… oddly enough they have had some recent pedo priest scandals themself).
1995? Serious? I though Italy was ridiculous by only allowing it in the 1970s (after a large protest movement and a referendum), I didn’t know that some countries were even later.
I was a young teenager at the time from the countryside, going to a school in a big town. Everyone from my area in the countryside was against it. None of my friends from the countryside were from split families.
People were worried about us coming from an area of divorced/split families.
What I realised later was that I was lucky. I came from a family where my parents loved each other and their kids. My friends and wife all tell me this now.
From understanding my friends situations, there is no world that divorce should not be allowed.
The other half were abusers or those who had been gaslit by abusers
Ireland has come a long way in a short amount of time.
My great-grandmother rang my father and told him she hoped he would be voting yes.
