    I would think that Malta has to permit divorce now that it is an EU member state. Any EC treaty experts here? That would leave just the Philippines.

    Ireland still banned divorce when it was in the UN for several years.

    That's quite different. EU membership can require member states to amend their laws to conform with the rights granted all nationals of EU members. Appeal is available to the European Court of Justice where a country's laws conflict with EU law.

    But, WTF, we're only talking about little Malta.

    Good luck on the PI, they still condone using birth control over there.My wife is from there,and I always ask , why in the hell can't you get a divorce, even if the person is kicking your ass, but you can bone a 12 year old girl,even a 10 year old girl , off the hook!

    You know what this means, right? Gay marriage is next for Chile. And then their whole civilization is going to collapse. Damn you liberals with your divorces!

    Next they'll allow gays in their military and then they'll exhibit homoerotic fantasies with captured prisoners. It's an endless slope to oblivion.
