It is not a divorce or a chance to have a fling. Instead, it is just an opportunity for husbands and wives to live apart. What are marriage sabbaticals and why are they becoming the new trend? Eric Njoka explains.

WION Fineprint | Are breaks in a marriage necessary to avoid a breakup?

<p>Elon Musk's pursuit of Twitter was a melodrama from beginning to end, a volatile courtship between a mercurial billionaire and the massively influential social media platform. That relationship, an apparent love-hate affair from Musk's side, now seems set to end in an acrimonious divorce, as reported by AFP.</p>

<p>The courtship began with an expensive first date: Musk -- a longtime Twitter user known for inflammatory tweets -- snapped up 73.5 million shares at the cost of nearly $2.9 billion. The purchase, which was revealed in an April 4 regulatory filing and gave him a 9.2 per cent stake in the company, sent Twitter shares soaring and sparked speculation that Musk was seeking an active role in the social media company's operations. It also earned him a seat on the board. CEO Parag Agrawal announced the offer -- in a tweet, of course -- and called Musk "a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need."</p>

<p>But the honeymoon didn't last long, Agrawal said on April 10 that Musk had decided against joining the board, a move the Twitter CEO believed was "for the best." Rather than amicably parting ways, Musk launched a hostile takeover bid for the company, offering $54.20 a share, an April 13 filing showed. After saying it would "carefully review" the offer, Twitter adopted a "poison pill" defence, announcing a plan that would allow shareholders to purchase additional stock.</p>

<p>Then came the plans for a walk down the corporate aisle, the big day of 'engagement', Twitter reversed course and said on April 25 that it was selling to Musk in a deal valued at $44 billion. But weddings can be expensive, so Musk took action to cover the cost, parting with $8.4 billion in shares in electric carmaker Tesla. He pledged up to $21 billion from his personal fortune, with the rest financed by debt. Musk was already planning his new life with Twitter, saying a few days later that he would lift the ban on Donald Trump, which was handed down after the January 2021 riot at the US Capitol by the then President's supporters.</p>

<p>But Musk soon began showing signs of cold feet, saying on May 13 that the deal to buy Twitter was "temporarily on hold" pending details on spam and fake accounts on the platform. In early June, advocacy groups decided to speak now instead of forever holding their peace, launching a campaign to stop Musk from going through with the purchase, which they said would allow him to "hand a megaphone to demagogues and extremists." Musk meanwhile accused Twitter of failing to provide data on fake accounts, and threatened to 'breakup'.</p>

<p>On June 16, however, he offered signs that the match was still a go, pitching a vision to the Twitter staff of a one-billion-user platform. But he was hazy on issues such as potential layoffs and free speech limits. It all came crashing down on July 8, when Musk called off the 'wedding' and accused Twitter of making "misleading" statements about the number of fake accounts. The breakup between the billionaire and the social media platform is set to be far from friendly. Twitter's chairman tweeted that the company will pursue legal action to enforce the deal, setting up a pricey showdown as the divorce heads to court, as reported by AFP.</p>

<p>A court in China declared that "application for <strong>divorce</strong> will not be allowed only because of cheating" creating widespread controversy.</p>

<p>China's state-run Global Times reported that the court in China's <strong>Shandong</strong> province declared that "cheating is not an act of cohabitation because cohabitation refers to a married person living with someone without marriage relations continuously and stably."</p>

<p>The court reportedly said it won't recognise<strong> adulty</strong> as a reason for filing for divorce.</p>

<p>The ruling by the court created a social media storm in <strong>China</strong> as the hashtag "No application for divorce because of cheating" began trending on the country's social media site Weibo which is considered China's Twitter as Netizens in China criticised the ruling as confusing.</p>

<p>China had passed a divorce law last year making it hard for couples to divorce as the new guideline mandated couples to complete a "cooling off" period for a month in order to reconsider their position if necessary and then to apply for a second time for a divorce.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Couples feard it complicated&nbsp;the divorce procedure because if a spouse withdrew from the divorce before 30 days then the application stood cancelled and then the aggrieved party would have to reapply for divorce making the process lengthy and costly involving <strong>lawyers</strong> to be engaged for a long time.</p>

<p>After the law was passed by the government, citizens had criticised the move for interfering in their personal matters as the hashtag "oppose divorce <strong>cooling-off period</strong>" trended on Chinese social media.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to reports, the divorce rate in China has risen from 0.96 divorces per 1,000 people in 2000 to 3.36 in 2019. The Chinese ministry of civil affairs records showed there were 4.15 million divorces in 2019.</p>

No application for divorce allowed due to cheating, rules China's court

<p>Shikhar Dhawan and wife Ayesha Mukherjee have filed for divorce after 8 years of marriage. The Indian cricketer's wife confirmed the development on Instagram on Tuesday (September 7).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ayesha, who hails from West Bengal but settled in Australia when she was 8, wrote on Instagram, " I THOUGHT DIVORCE WAS A DIRTY WORD UNTIL I BECAME A 2 TIME DIVORCEE.</p>

<p>"Funny how words can have such powerful meanings and associations. I experienced this first hand as a divorcee. The first time I went through a divorce I was soooooooo fu@kn scared. I felt like I had failed and I was doing something so wrong at that time.</p>

<p>"I felt as if I had let everyone down and even felt selfish. I felt that I was letting my parents down, I felt that I was letting my children down and even to some extent I felt as if I was letting God down. Divorce was such a dirty word.</p>

<p>"So now imagine, I have to go through it a second time. Woooahhhhhh. That is terrifying. Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove. So when my second marriage broke down it was really scary. All the feelings I felt when I went through it the first time came flooding in. Fear, failure and disappointment x 100. What does this mean for me? How does this define me and my relationship to marriage?</p>

<p>So, once I realised this I started to redefine the word and the experience of divorce according to the way I wanted to see it and experience it," Ayesha poured her heart out on the social media platform.</p>

Shikhar Dhawan and wife Ayesha Mukherjee have filed for divorce after 8 years of marriage. The Indian cricketer's wife confirmed the development on Instagram on Tuesday (September 7). Ayesha, who hails from West Bengal but settled in Australia when she was 8, wrote on Instagram, " I THOUGHT DIVORCE WAS A DIRTY WORD UNTIL I BECAME A 2 TIME DIVORCEE. "Funny how words can have such powerful meanings and associations. I experienced this first hand as a divorcee. The first time I went through a divorce I was soooooooo fu@kn scared. I felt like I had failed and I was doing something so wrong at that time. "I felt as if I had let everyone down and even felt selfish. I felt that I was letting my parents down, I felt that I was letting my children down and even to some extent I felt as if I was letting God down. Divorce was such a dirty word. "So now imagine, I have to go through it a second time. Woooahhhhhh. That is terrifying. Being divorced once before already, felt like I had more at stake the second time round. I had more to prove. So when my second marriage broke down it was really scary. All the feelings I felt when I went through it the first time came flooding in. Fear, failure and disappointment x 100. What does this mean for me? How does this define me and my relationship to marriage? So, once I realised this I started to redefine the word and the experience of divorce according to the way I wanted to see it and experience it," Ayesha poured her heart out on the social media platform.

<p>In what is being described as an unprecedented ruling, a county judge in US’ Illinois state has prohibited a mother from visiting her 11-year-old son, who lives with her estranged husband, because she refused to get vaccinated against COVID-19.</p>

<p>Cook County judge James Shapiro said Rebecca Firlit, 39, could not see the boy again until she had taken the jab.</p>

<p>“I’ve had adverse reactions to vaccines in the past and was advised not to get vaccinated by my doctor. It poses a risk,” Firlit told ta local media about the virtual court hearing, which took place earlier this month.</p>

<p>“I was confused because it was just supposed to be about expenses and child support. One of the first things he asked me when I got on the Zoom call was whether or not I was vaccinated, which threw me off because I asked him what it had to do with the hearing.”</p>

<p>“He said: I am the judge, and I make the decisions for your case.”</p>

<p>Firlit’s lawyer Annette Fernholz said she and her ex-husband have been divorced for seven years and that her former husband did not seek a ruling on the vaccination issue.</p>

<p>“The trial court clearly exceeded its authority in suspending the mother’s parenting time when the issue before the court was child support,” Fernholz said in a statement.</p>

<p>“The mother did not know her parenting time was being discussed when she went to Zoom court. The judge deprived her of notice and a full hearing on the issue,” he added</p>

<p>The father’s attorney, Jeffery M&nbsp;Leving, said he supported the judge’s decision. “There are children who have died because of COVID,” he told The Washington Post</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Filirt’s lawyer said they have filed a legal challenge to the state appellate court.</p>

Bill Gates, Melinda finalise divorce, court documents show 

<p>Russian billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov and his former wife Tatiana Akhmedova reached a settlement on Friday after years of legal wrangling over a record 454 million pound ($625 million) divorce award made by London's High Court in 2016.<br />
<br />
The dispute led to an unsuccessful attempt by Akhemdova to seize a 115-metre (377-foot) superyacht owned by her former husband through courts in Dubai, as well as a separate court order for her son Temur to pay her more than 70 million pounds from family assets.<br />
<br />
The terms of Friday's settlement are confidential and how much money Akhmedova will now receive is unclear.<br />
<br />
"This was never about a figure but a husband honouring his commitment to his family," a spokesperson for Akhmedova said, rejecting a claim from a spokesperson for her former husband that she would have been better off not pursuing the legal action.<br />
<br />
The Times newspaper said Akhmedova would receive around 150 million pounds, which would also have to cover her legal costs.<br />
<br />
Akhmedova's legal action was funded through a specialist financing company, Burford Capital, which said it would receive approximately $103 million for its efforts to enforce the 454 million pound judgment.<br />
<br />
Burford said the settlement would boost its operating profit this year by around $20 million.<br />
<br />
"In aggregate, Burford expects the matter to have generated more than $70 million of realized gain over the life of the investment," it said in a statement.<br />
<br />
British judge Gwynneth Knowles, in her ruling against Akhmedova's son Temur in April, said: "The Akhmedov family is one of the unhappiest ever to have appeared in my courtroom."</p>

Russian billionaire, wife settle bitter $625 million divorce case

Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, and his wife Melinda have announced their divorce after 27 years marriage, saying "we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple". The billionaire couple have three children and jointly run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bill and Melinda Gates split up after 27 years of marriage

<p>After Jim Carrey introduced pet detective to the world in the famous Hollywood movie Ace Ventura, Spain is set to introduce custody of pet animals. The government has introduced a new law to determine custody of animals when couples separate.</p>

<p>Couples love adopting pets and take them on walks, click pictures for social media and spoil them with attention. However, things get grim when the couples break up and an important question pops up: who gets to keep the pet?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-spain-to-approve-joint-custody-of-pets-379347"><strong>Watch |</strong></a></p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-spain-to-approve-joint-custody-of-pets-379347/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>France, Germany&nbsp;and Switzerland have recognised pets as living beings with rights and now Spain has joined the campaign.</p>

<p>Spain has unveiled a new legal reform. Until now, animals were seen as mere objects but this reform declares them as sensitive living beings.</p>

<p>In a court of law, this makes for an interesting interpretation. Judges can now declare joint custody of pets the same as they do for kids in a divorce settlement.</p>

<p><strong>Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/petflix-uk-sees-surge-in-pet-care-products-as-people-return-to-offices-378410">Petflix! UK sees surge in pet-care products as people return to offices</a></strong></p>

After Jim Carrey introduced pet detective to the world in the famous Hollywood movie Ace Ventura, Spain is set to introduce custody of pet animals. The government has introduced a new law to determine custody of animals when couples separate.

After Jim Carrey introduced pet detective to the world in the famous Hollywood movie Ace Ventura, Spain is set to introduce custody of pet animals. The government has introduced a new law to determine custody of animals when couples separate. Couples love adopting pets and take them on walks, click pictures for social media and spoil them with attention. However, things get grim when the couples break up and an important question pops up: who gets to keep the pet? Watch | France, Germany and Switzerland have recognised pets as living beings with rights and now Spain has joined the campaign. Spain has unveiled a new legal reform. Until now, animals were seen as mere objects but this reform declares them as sensitive living beings. In a court of law, this makes for an interesting interpretation. Judges can now declare joint custody of pets the same as they do for kids in a divorce settlement. Also read | Petflix!

Pet-nups? Spain introduces laws for pet custody after divorce

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about her divorce to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The Oscar-winning actress has revealed that the divorce made her discover more about the person she is than anything else.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paltrow appeared on the 'Unqualified' podcast where she spoke to fellow actress Anna Faris and said that how she had never thought divorce would be a possibility for her.&nbsp;<br />
"I’ve learned so much from something I wanted least in the world," Paltrow told Faris.<br />
<br />
"I never wanted to get divorced. I never wanted to not be married to the father of my kids, theoretically," she went on.</p>

<p>"I have learned more about myself through that process than I could have imagined," Paltrow admitted. The actress said that the separation taught her to be more accountable and it helped her to build a stronger relationship with her second husband, writer and producer Brad Falchuk, who she wed in 2018.<br />
<br />
"We were friends first for a long time and once I was like, 'Are we going to date? Is this happening?' I was scared because (Falchuk) is a person who demands presence and intimacy and communication in a way that I just didn’t know how to (do)," Paltrow said about her second husband.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I like to fight by shutting down... I leave the room. And he's like... 'Absolutely not. We are sitting down and we are figuring this out'," she shared.<br />
<br />
"He demands that I am honest with myself in a way that is hard for me but which really helps me grow. I think I recognized his amazing qualities," Paltrow said.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"It was like being with some kind of jiujitsu master, where they’re like, 'I’m going to make you see your own stuff so you can win and advance, "she further added.&nbsp;</p>

Gwyneth Paltrow says divorcing Chris Martin made her learn more about herself

<p>In December, Emma Shi desperately needed an appointment at the civil affairs bureau in Shanghai but could not get one. She scoured the internet to find someone who could help, quickly.</p>

<p>Her request: Help me obtain a divorce within a day.</p>

<p>Shi, a 38-year-old engineer, was trying to get ahead of a Chinese government rule that from Jan. 1, couples seeking a divorce must first wait 30 days. Shi said that forcing unhappy couples to stay married would only lead to more fighting.</p>

<p>“To anyone, this would be very unbearable,” she said. “The relationship is already broken.”</p>

<p>The new cooling-off period was introduced to deter impulsive divorces, but it prompted a scramble at the end of last year among couples urgently wanting to part ways.</p>

<p>China’s steadily rising divorce rate has compounded the challenges facing the ruling Communist Party’s efforts to reverse a demographic crisis that threatens economic growth. The number of marriages has plummeted every year since 2014, and officials have also grown increasingly concerned that more wedded couples were acting hastily to untie the knot.</p>

<p>“Some couples would fight in the morning and divorce in the afternoon,” Long Jun, an expert who worked to include the rule in the country’s new civil code, said in an interview with the official Legal Daily newspaper. “In order to reduce this phenomenon, the civil code was designed to address this in a systemic way.”</p>

<p>Data released by the civil affairs ministry last week showed that there were more than 1 million filings for divorce in the last three months of 2020, up 13% compared to the same period a year earlier.</p>

<p><strong>Also read|</strong>&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://wionews.com/south-asia/poverty-population-and-weak-healthcare-coronavirus-cases-on-the-rise-in-south-asia-286818" hreflang="en">Poverty, population and weak healthcare: Coronavirus cases on the rise in South Asia</a></strong></p>

<p>The trend was stark in several major cities. Beijing recorded a 36% rise in divorces, to nearly 27,000 cases. In Shenzhen, they rose 26%, to more than 11,600 cases. In the southwestern municipality of Chongqing, there was a 15% rise, to 35,000 cases. In the last two weeks of December, about 40 couples filed for divorce each day, double the number compared with the same period a year ago, a district official in Chongqing told a local newspaper.</p>

<p>In Shanghai, divorce filings jumped 53% in that period, to 20,000. Shi, the engineer, just barely made the deadline. She said she and her husband had agreed to the divorce after she discovered in December that he had been cheating on her.</p>

<p>On Dec. 30, she found a fixer on Xianyu, an app for trading secondhand items, who promised to closely monitor the civil affairs bureau’s website for any slots that might free up. She paid him $50.</p>

<p>That same evening, Shi got an appointment — and her divorce came through the next morning. “I’m very grateful,” she said. In her view, she said, “it is marriage that needs a cooling-off period,” not divorce.</p>

<p>Mandated waiting periods for divorces — to allow for reflection, reconciliation, the organization of finances or discussions about custody — are not unusual in many countries. But in China, the move was met with skepticism and concern, with the hashtag #OpposeCoolingOffPeriod generating 81,000 comments on Weibo, a popular social media website. People felt the government was overreaching into their personal lives.</p>

<p>“We have seen enough evidence suggesting that even if you make divorce harder and you set up more hurdles, if people are not happy with their marriage, they will find ways to get out,” said Ke Li, an assistant professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York who has studied divorce litigation in China for 15 years.</p>

<p>Women’s rights activists say the waiting period could further disadvantage stay-at-home mothers who often have no independent income to pay for a legal fight. For those urgently seeking a dissolution, the order to wait could complicate the legal process. Even after they have completed the wait, couples would need to make another appointment to finalize the divorce.</p>

<p>The rule also grants either spouse the power to retract the divorce application if they disagree, which could further endanger victims of domestic violence, activists have said. The government said that in such cases, victims could approach a court to dissolve their marriage.</p>

<p>Shen Jinjin, a 34-year-old employee of an insurance company, has been married for over three years to a man who she says is verbally abusive to her and her parents. In January, she decided to leave him.</p>

<p>Shen, who lives in the southern city of Zhangzhou, said she believed that her husband’s conduct amounted to domestic violence. But she had taken her friends’ advice and pursued a divorce instead of suing him, a process that would have taken longer.</p>

<p>Shen was expecting to be granted the divorce Saturday. She described the wait as a “real torment,” adding that she was most worried that her husband would change his mind.</p>

<p>“I’m under a lot of pressure,” Shen said. “I don’t know what kind of harm he could inflict on me.”</p>

<p>For many, the rush to get divorced before the rule took effect meant that in cities like Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, residents sometimes had to wait up to a month for an appointment. Some described going to unusual lengths to beat the crowd.</p>

<p>In Guangzhou, Li Sisi, the 28-year-old owner of a cosmetics shop on the e-commerce platform Taobao, said that for several nights in September, she stayed up until midnight just to wait for the Guangzhou civil affairs bureau to release appointment slots on its website.</p>

<p>Li eventually secured a slot in October, but her husband couldn’t make it. She tried again and was finally able to dissolve the marriage on Dec. 21.</p>

<p>Li said she had decided to divorce because her marriage, which was long-distance, was leaving her unhappy. She has a 3-year-old daughter but said she would not stay married just for the sake of her child, unlike many parents in earlier generations. “This generation has spiritual needs,” she said.</p>

<p>“Since I want a divorce,” she added, “one more day and one more minute of being together is all suffering for me.”</p>

However, while Donald Trump stopped to pose for the cameras, Melania chose to keep walking and let her husband have his spotlight. I made a gif. It’s just so funny. #MelaniaTrump pic.twitter.com/e3lGva2q9X — Better Late than Heather (@latethanheather) January 21, 2021 × This gave the twitter world a chance to launch all jokes on the complicated married life of the former President and his wife. The video has once again sparked rumours of the two nearing a divorce — a rumour that has been doing the rounds for the past few months. Many believe it was only till the end of Trump's presidential term that the coupkle had decided to stay together, and now that the White House is not their residence anymore, Melania will soon be filing for a divorce, if not already done. People took to twitter t make fun of the way Melania walked away from her husband, knowing that she is not bound by the duties of a FLOTUS anymore.

Divorce that creates a billionaire: Chinese couple parting ways with a settlement of $3.2 billion

<p>Couples in China seeking a divorce must first complete a month-long "cooling-off" period according to a new law passed on Thursday.</p>

<p>The provision requires couples filing for separation to wait for a month before their request can be processed -- in a bid to reduce divorce rates.</p>

<p>The passage of this law met with an outrage over state interference in private relationships.</p>

<p>After it was passed, the law became one of the top trending topics on China's Twitter-like platform Weibo -- with over 25 million views of posts using the hashtag "oppose the divorce cool-off period".</p>

<p>The cooling-off period will not apply if one spouse is seeking divorce following domestic violence.</p>

<p>"We cannot even divorce freely?" wrote one user. "There must still be a lot of people who marry impulsively, they should set a cooling off period for getting married as well!"</p>

<p>"They passed the divorce cooling off period despite everyone's opposition online, which means their respect for public opinion is just for show," added another commentator.</p>

<p>China's divorce rate has increased steadily since 2003, when marriage laws were liberalised and as more women become financially independent.</p>

<p>Last year some 4.15 million Chinese couples untied the knot -- up from 1.3 million in 2003, when couples were first allowed to divorce by mutual consent without going to court.</p>

<p>Before then, divorce had to be obtained by one spouse suing another in court.</p>

<p>The new civil code will come into effect on January 1, 2021.</p>

<p>Other new laws include expanding the definition of sexual harassment, new protections against land grabs, and measures to allow people to donate the organs of dead relatives.</p>

Mandatory divorce 'cooling-off' period meets with outrage in China

<p>Divorce rates in China have increased over the last couple of months owing to coronavirus. According to register offices across the country, this is because of self-quarantine protocols that have enabled couples to spend more time together.</p>

<p>The Daily Mail reported that over 300 couples have scheduled divorce appointments since February 24, based on the registrations received in Dazhou, Sichuan Province of south-western China.</p>

<p>Self-isolation is one of the primary protocols to avoid contracting the infection. However, this has not worked out well for China, where too much time with each other is driving couples to separate.</p>

<p>In the district mentioned above, the divorce rate has soared tremendously, if the local registry sources are to be trusted.</p>

<p>An officer told Daily Mail that this might be owing to the predisposition of young people to get into petty arguments, which cause rushed cases of divorce.</p>

<p>However, another major factor in play here is the number of delayed applications, for the marriage offices remained closed for over a month during the pandemic.</p>

<p>Ever since the marriage registration offices reopened on March 1 in most parts of China, the number of divorce cases have gone up.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Offices in Xi'an of Shaanxi Province in north-western China have also witnessed a sharp rise in divorce appointments.</p>

<p>According to the Global Times, a single district office received over 14 requests in one day, which is more than the upper limit set up by the local council.</p>

<p>To avoid overcrowding during a pandemic, officials in many parts of China have accordingly adjusted the number of appointments to 10 a day, for they had received too many requests.</p>

<p>This model of self-isolation has triggered debates among scientists about the positive and negative effects of spending time in close quarters.</p>

<p>A study published in 2018 found that that couples who inhabited the same space before marriage experienced lower rates of divorce in the first year than those who didn't. However, the rates went up for people who had lived with their partners for more than five years.</p>

American comedy-drama 'Divorce' gets season 3 premiere date

<p>Ireland voted by an overwhelming majority to relax its constitutional restriction on divorce, results showed Sunday, the latest in a series of reforms to modernise the charter of the once-devoutly Catholic nation.</p>

<p>Some 82 per cent of voters cast their ballots in favour of removing a provision requiring couples to live separately for four out of the previous five years before dissolving their marriage.</p>

<p>The Irish government has signalled it will bring forward new legislation shortening the requirement to two out of the prior three years.</p>

<p>At present Irish divorce law is regarded as among the most restrictive in Europe.</p>

<p>It is thought to be responsible for the republic having the lowest separation rate of any<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/european-union-rich-poor-divide-widens-but-still-a-worldwide-low-217922"> EU member </a>state, according to 2015 figures from the country's Central Statistics Office.</p>

<p>The outcome of Friday's referendum will also see Irish lawmakers granted powers to recognise foreign divorces once it is signed into law by the president.</p>

<p>The mandated separation period was a hangover condition from the 1995 referendum which granted Irish couples the right to divorce by a slim majority of 50.3 per cent.</p>

<p>Campaigners said it placed an unfair emotional and financial burden on couples and families at a time when Irish rental and property prices are spiking.</p>

<p>The result of the vote comes one year on from the day when 66 per cent of voters cast referendum ballots in favour of repealing the republic's constitutional ban on abortion.</p>

<p>While the result of that vote was hailed by crowds in jubilant scenes in Dublin Castle, Sunday's result was announced without fanfare.</p>

<p>In October of last year voters also chose to lift a rarely enforced -- and oft-ridiculed -- constitutional ban on blasphemy.</p>

<p>A further referendum to excise or alter the constitutional article referring to the "woman's life within the home" is expected to be brought forward soon.</p>

<p>The turnout in the referendum, which took place alongside EU elections, was 51 per cent.</p>

<p>Actor Arunoday Singh on Saturday announced that he and his wife of over two years, Lee Elton, have decided to part ways.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 36-year-old actor shared the news of his separation on Instagram.</p>

<p>"I haven't been writing or posting for a while. There's a reason for it, a rather sad one: My marriage seems to be over.&nbsp;Turns out we were very good at love, but couldn't survive reality. Despite our best efforts, professional counselling, and current trial separation, nothing seems to have helped bridge the fundamental differences that have emerged between us. It seems wiser to let go. I think we both deserve better. We shall try to resolve this with compassion and dignity," Arunoday said in a statement posted on his official Instagram account.&nbsp;</p>

Actor Arunoday Singh on Saturday announced that he and his wife of over two years, Lee Elton, have decided to part ways. The 36-year-old actor shared the news of his separation on Instagram. "I haven't been writing or posting for a while. There's a reason for it, a rather sad one: My marriage seems to be over. Turns out we were very good at love, but couldn't survive reality. Despite our best efforts, professional counselling, and current trial separation, nothing seems to have helped bridge the fundamental differences that have emerged between us. It seems wiser to let go. I think we both deserve better. We shall try to resolve this with compassion and dignity," Arunoday said in a statement posted on his official Instagram account.

<p>Johnny Depp has claimed that he has fresh evidence to disprove his ex-wife Amber Heard's domestic violence allegations against him.</p>

<p>According to a report by E! Online, Depp is all set to use the evidence in his libel case against 'The Sun,' a UK tabloid which published an article in which the actor was called a 'wife-beater.'</p>

<p>The UK tabloid also went on to criticise writer JK Rowling for allowing the Hollywood actor to continue working in the 'Dangerous Beasts franchise,' despite reports of his alleged abusive behaviour towards Heard.</p>

<p>Asserting that they have found some evidence that will prove Heard's allegations wrong, Adam Waldman, said, "Today we filed a partial list of evidence that we will use to disprove the fraudulent underlying allegations against Depp.</p>

<p>"The former Hollywood couple settled their divorce in 2017 and Depp agreed to pay around 7 million USD, however, Heard ended up donating the money to a charity.</p>

<p>They even issued a joint statement during the time of their divorce, saying, "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love. Neither party has made false accusations for financial gain. There was never any intent of physical or emotional harm."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amazon.com shares seesawed on Thursday as investors questioned how the impending <a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/in-pics-worlds-costliest-divorces-of-all-time-189434">divorce of company founder Jeff Bezos</a> would affect his control of the most valuable company on Wall Street and its ambitious expansion plans.</p>

<p>Bezos, whom Forbes lists as the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-to-divorce-wife-mackenzie-189291">world's richest person</a>, worth an estimated $136.2 billion, said via Twitter on Wednesday that he and his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie, will divorce. Amazon shares were down 0.5 per cent in afternoon trading on Thursday, after gaining earlier in the session.</p>

<p>The split throws into question how the couple will split their fortune, which includes an approximately 16 per cent ownership stake in Amazon's roughly $811.4 billion market capitalisation. Divorce laws in Washington state, where they live, hold that property acquired during a marriage is generally divided equally between spouses.</p>

<p>Most analysts and fund managers are largely sanguine and say the divorce will not lead to any significant change in the company's leadership or its growth prospects.</p>

<p>Prominent short-seller Doug Kass, however, who runs hedge fund Seabreeze Partners, said he sold his stake in Amazon on news of the divorce. That was after initially buying a stake in late December and naming Amazon among his "best ideas list."</p>

<p>"Is it premature to ask what happens to Amazon when Jeff Bezos chooses to turn over the day-to-day running of the company he founded?" he said. "His announced divorce gives me pause for thought."</p>

<p>The couple has multiple residences across the country, so there is a possibility the divorce could be filed in a state where marital property is not presumed to be divided equally.</p>

<p>New York matrimonial lawyer Bernard Clair said, in that case, a judge would likely determine MacKenzie Bezos' share of Amazon stock based on her contribution to her husband's success, which could include helping him make important business decisions or raising their children so he could focus on work.</p>

<p>Any transfer of Jeff Bezos' stock would be subject to US Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure requirements. As an officer and director at the company, Bezos could be required to file an SEC Form 4 within two business days of any transfer, though former SEC lawyer Broc Romanek noted a provision of US securities laws exempts share transfers made pursuant to a domestic relations order.</p>

<p>Even if Bezos were exempted from filing a Form 4, he would be required to update promptly the record of his Amazon holdings on file with the SEC if his position in the company changed by 1 per cent or more, said DC securities lawyer Thomas Gorman. MacKenzie Bezos would also need to file a similar record if she received more than 5 per cent of Amazon stock.</p>

<p>Peter Henning, a securities law professor at Wayne State University, noted that Amazon, unlike fellow tech giants Facebook and Google, does not give its founder's shares greater voting rights. If MacKenzie Bezos is given a large block of shares, she could have a big say at the company.</p>

<p>Gorman agreed. "She could wind up with some sort of control block, and get herself a directorship," he said. "It depends on what she wants to do.”</p>

<p>Any effort to dilute MacKenzie Bezos' voting rights by creating a separate class of shares would require a shareholder vote, said Gorman, though he added that he thought such a move unlikely.</p>

<p>“Nobody wants to run their divorce through a shareholder meeting,” he said.</p>

<p>Robert Bacarella, portfolio manager of the Monetta fund, said that while he is not changing his investment in Amazon, he expects other growth-focused portfolio managers may trim their stakes due to concerns about the divorce's impact.</p>

<p>"This is such an over-owned company and this gives them an excuse to say 'Maybe I'll trim some back because it adds a new question mark'," he said.</p>

<p>Bacarella, however, said he is not concerned because even if MacKenzie Bezos liquidated a stake that could be as high as 8 per cent, there would be no fundamental reason behind the sale. Any impact would be short-term in nature.</p>

<p>"Unless you worry that he will get so distracted by the divorce that he cannot manage the company, this will be a non-event," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. "He is given control of the company because shareholders like him and his vision, not because he has 50 per cent of the stock."</p>

<p>Thomas Forte, an analyst at DA Davidson, said questions about the future of the company due to the divorce are legitimate due to Jeff Bezos' outsized influence on its value. Should he leave the company for any reason, its shares would likely immediately fall more than 10 per cent, he said.</p>

<p>“His influence on the company is as a significant as if he had super-voting shares because of his track record and the way he runs the company as if he owned the whole thing," he said</p>

Even if Bezos were exempted from filing a Form 4, he would be required to update promptly the record of his Amazon holdings on file with the SEC if his position in the company changed by 1 per cent or more, said DC securities lawyer Thomas Gorman. MacKenzie Bezos would also need to file a similar record if she received more than 5 per cent of Amazon stock. Peter Henning, a securities law professor at Wayne State University, noted that Amazon, unlike fellow tech giants Facebook and Google, does not give its founder's shares greater voting rights. If MacKenzie Bezos is given a large block of shares, she could have a big say at the company. Gorman agreed. "She could wind up with some sort of control block, and get herself a directorship," he said. "It depends on what she wants to do.” Any effort to dilute MacKenzie Bezos' voting rights by creating a separate class of shares would require a shareholder vote, said Gorman, though he added that he thought such a move unlikely. “Nobody wants to run their divorce through a shareholder meeting,” he said. Robert Bacarella, portfolio manager of the Monetta fund, said that while he is not changing his investment in Amazon, he expects other growth-focused portfolio managers may trim their stakes due to concerns about the divorce's impact. "This is such an over-owned company and this gives them an excuse to say 'Maybe I'll trim some back because it adds a new question mark'," he said. Bacarella, however, said he is not concerned because even if MacKenzie Bezos liquidated a stake that could be as high as 8 per cent, there would be no fundamental reason behind the sale. Any impact would be short-term in nature. "Unless you worry that he will get so distracted by the divorce that he cannot manage the company, this will be a non-event," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles. "He is given control of the company because shareholders like him and his vision, not because he has 50 per cent of the stock." Thomas Forte, an analyst at DA Davidson, said questions about the future of the company due to the divorce are legitimate due to Jeff Bezos' outsized influence on its value. Should he leave the company for any reason, its shares would likely immediately fall more than 10 per cent, he said. “His influence on the company is as a significant as if he had super-voting shares because of his track record and the way he runs the company as if he owned the whole thing," he said
