Divorcé  (DIVORCÉ)


Where divorce 1 as an institution is recognized, the dissolution of marriage (510-2) may take place through the granting of a decree of divorce 2 to one of the spouses. In some countries a spouse may be repudiated 3 by the other. Persons whose marriages have been dissolved by divorce are called divorced persons 4. The French words divorcée 6 (woman) or divorcé 5 (man) are sometimes used in English, though the masculine form is rare.
