Why was legalising divorce important in women's social rights?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It gave women a legal right to leave an unequal or oppressive marriage

During the French Revolution, legal recognition of divorce meant that marriage was no longer treated only as an unbreakable religious bond. It gave women a lawful way to end an unequal, unhappy, or oppressive marriage, making it an important advance in their social rights. Women did not receive equal representation in Parliament at that time. Exam tip: connect the right to divorce with greater legal equality for women within marriage and family life.
