Summary/Abstract: Divorce, as a form of marriage dissolution, is one of the most well-known institutions in the Romanian law. While before the 19th century marriages could be dissolved for derisory reasons, once the 1864 Civil Code became effective, the grounds for divorce were more properly defined in the Romanian legislation. If nowadays it seems unacceptable for the parents of the spouses to intervene in the family relations of the latter, parents had for long a recognised right to consent to their children’s divorce. In a society based on education, knowledge and continuous development, having family at its core, divorce should be viewed as an option as the moment the spouses’ cohabitation becomes impossible, this affects their relations and especially their relations with their children, the children’s interest prevailing and being higher. The current Romanian legislation has managed to establish a modern legal regime, which is adapted to social reality.
