It will go from the requi- rement set forth in the current legislation to justify three years of cohabitation of the couple to request that three months have elapsed since the marriage. According to the groups, this will end the need to justify the de- cision by looking for «causes and culprits» in the couple crisis, and in this sense, there is no need to follow a first process of separati- on from the spouses to obtain a divorce. As explained by the Ge- neral Councils of the Democrats, Ester Molné, and of Liberals, Síl- via Ferrer, and the general coun- sel of Committed Citizens, Carles Naudi, the document that cons- titutes the law is «a text that en- compasses all the legislative con- tent that is it has been elaborating in this matter until the present ti- me ”.
