In 1968, the Canadian government passed the Divorce Act, which liberalized the country's divorce laws. Prior to this, divorce could only be granted on grounds of adultery or cruelty, and required a long and complicated legal process. The new law allowed for "no-fault" divorce, meaning that couples could end their marriage without having to prove fault or misconduct by either spouse. This made divorce more accessible and easier to obtain, especially for women who were often trapped in unhappy or abusive marriages before the change in law.
