In today's video I will mainly talk about the problem of divorce in antiquity, the Middle Ages and in modern times and in relation to the upper classes of society. Of course, it is necessary to keep in mind that, firstly, a lot has changed in our time, and secondly, in different countries and even individual places, the rules and customs could differ greatly from the generally accepted ones. And besides, ordinary people often had the only privilege of their position: to pay less attention to the laws and prejudices that fettered the life of the elite. Well, and, of course, no one has canceled the possibility of abuse of laws and simple everyday crimes.
