Útfrjóvgun

Útfrjóvgun is a legal process in Icelandic law that involves the termination or suspension of a marriage. In Iceland, the term refers to the formal dissolution of a marital union, which can occur through mutual agreement or court-ordered proceedings. The process typically requires documentation of grounds for separation (e.g., irreconcilable differences) and may involve mediation to resolve issues like property division and child custody. Once finalized, útfrjóvgun legally ends the marital bond, allowing parties to remarry or pursue individual lives. The concept has evolved alongside societal shifts in family structures, reflecting changing attitudes toward marriage and separation in Iceland.
