Divorcée  (DIVORCÉE)


Where divorce1 as an institution is recognized, the dissolution of marriage (501-1) may take place through one of the spouses (501-5) being granted a decree of divorce2. In some countries a spouse may be repudiated3 by the other. Persons whose marriages have been dissolved by divorce are called divorced persons4. The French words divorcee5 (feminine) or divorce6 (masculine) are sometimes used in English, though the masculine term is rare.
