The Supreme Court have just dismissed Mrs Owens appeal effectively forcing her to remain married until 2020 at which point she can then rely on 5 years separation for which she does not need her husband's consent.
This is a landmark judgment and highlights the need for a change in the law. the Supreme Court can't change the old fashioned laws about divorce so Parliament will now be encouraged to do so.
