WBL: Legal Framework, Marriage, The law allows a woman to obtain a judgment of divorce in the same way as a man
Wereldbankvia Wereldbank-indicatoren · updated 14 October 2026
What's in it
The indicator assesses whether: (1) the process of divorce is equal for a man and a woman; OR (2) the evidentiary rules in divorce proceedings are the same for men and women: for example, the burden of proof is the same for a man as for a woman; OR (3) there are additional protections for women, such as the prohibition for a husband to initiate divorce proceedings if the wife is pregnant. Score = 1 if one of the three conditions is met; otherwise, score = 0.
