This book explores the subject of divorce in Burmese Buddhist law, delving into the historical and cultural context of marriage and the complexities of its dissolution. The author, an esteemed judicial commissioner, examines the relevant passages in the ancient Dhammathat legal codes, seeking to reconcile them with the prevalent customs and practices of the time. Through careful analysis, the author challenges the notion that either spouse could end a marriage at their whim, emphasizing the need for consent or valid reasons for divorce.

Its insights shed light on the evolving nature of marital bonds and the role of law in upholding the sanctity of this institution.
