Information on whether a woman requires husband's consent in order to obtain a divorce [ROM15297]

According to the author of Mariages et régimes matrimoniaux étrangers, there is no such thing as "divorce by mutual consent" and "limited divorce" in Romania (Groffier 1987, 124). The same source indicates that a tribunal decides whether or not to terminate of a marriage (Ibid.)

This response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
