| 'Christ Yes Divorce No' |
What do Malta, the Phillipines and Vatican City have in common? Answer: Not much, really.
But up until 2011, they were the last three countries in the world where divorce was still illegal.
In June of 2011 a divorce referendum was held in Malta, notable for some pretty passionate debating on both sides leading up to the vote.
A sample Church pamphlet against divorce opined that:
"If battered wives are granted the right to remarry, so too will their abusive husbands. If you do not vote it means you do not care about the family or your children."
(I think it's fair to say that not everybody agreed with this logic).
