"Holy Deadlock is a 1934 satirical novel by the English author A. P. Herbert, which aimed to highlight the perceived inadequacies and absurdities of contemporary divorce law. The book took a particularly lenient view of the need for divorces, which it characterised as \"a relief from misfortune, not a crime\", and demonstrated how the current system created an environment which encouraged the participants to commit perjury and adultery."@en . .
