Adjudicators, fellow debaters, witnesses, a very good day to all of you.

Before I state our side’s motion, let me first define marriage. Marriage is the union between two
individuals as partners in a relationship. Marriage means having someone you can lean on to in good
times and in bad, having someone you can love and trust, and loves and trusts you back. However, not
all marriages are bonded like this. Not all marriages lead to happiness and personal growth. It can also
be something that ruins the inner peace of an individual. Sometimes, relationships can turn abusive,
toxic and irreparable. There could also be moments where the someone who was once our crying
shoulder becomes the reason for our tears.

Today, we stand firmly in the legalization of divorce as an option for married individuals. We believe that
people, should not be forced to stay in a relationship that challenges their mental, physical, and
emotional well-being just to keep up appearances and for their traditional ideals. The impact of staying
in a dysfunctional marriage only leads to worse psychological, emotional, and maybe even physical
harm, not just to the married couple but also to their children.

Divorce is not an escape; it is the brave sword that helps you cut the shackles of pain and emptiness
brought about by marriage. It is the acceptance that not everything can be fixed, even with mutual
understanding and communication.

Additionally, divorce is a process, we do not deny that in the early stage, children will be confused on
which parent to be with or they will feel lonely by spending less time with their other parent. But…
acknowledging these challenges is the first step towards healing, in the long run it will grant peace to
the divorced couple and their children.

Our case will revolve around these arguments:

1st one is Freedom. A relationship is built from mutual feelings for each other. However, as they say,
people change. Human emotions can evolve through time and we can fall out of love, and from this, we
should have the freedom to leave without being trapped in a legal bind, MARRIAGE. People should be
allowed to leave when they’re feeling lost so they can look for themselves again and grow individually,
whether for their career or to be in a healthier relationship.

Secondly, for their mental and physical well-beings. Relationships can turn extremely abusive. Not only
for one partner in a relationship but also to children. Unhappy marriages lead to stresses, depression
and anxiety, individuals should be allowed to leave for the sake of their mental well-being and rebuild
their emotional health.

Divorce can be extremely necessary for the sake of their survival. Some marriages have partners that
doesn’t only hurt them mentally but also physically, this helps them escape that dangerous environment
and seek safety for themselves.

Moreover, children who grow up in households like this are more likely to develop trauma. Through
divorce, they can come up with healthier co-parenting techniques.

Lastly, although the divorce is more of a personal issue, the legalization of this movement will help in the
progress of society. It opens the idea of gender equality, breaking the old belief that women should
depend on their spouses. This also helps in choosing a healthier relationship rather than staying in a
façade of fake-love. We should also normalize leaving an unhappy relationship and not think of us,
choosing ourselves, as something shameful. Caring for our well-being is not something to be
embarrassed about.

Concluding this statement, we believe that divorce is not a threat to the institution of marriage. Instead,
this would help in realizing the true essence of it by mutual love, respect, trust, instead of an obligation.
It promotes a safe, free, and healthy relationship and by allowing people to leave doomed relationships,
we protect both their physical and mental well-being.

This is Rein Natasha Yap; Prime Minister of the government’s side and we strongly believe that divorce is
not only a necessary action but also a morally-driven right.
