The divorce system in Japan requires both parties to agree to the divorce, or for there to be evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either side. Even if a wife or husband hates their partner with a passion, if the partner does not agree to a divorce or there is no wrongdoing on their part... getting a divorce is VERY hard and very expensive. You essentially have to sue your partner for the right to a divorce.

Those services, along with private investigators, provide the evidence needed to get a one-sided divorce.

As a side note, I found the pronunciation key in that article for wakaresaseya absolutely hilarious...


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.
