What are the strangest divorce traditions in history?

This isn't really a "divorce traditions " since separate essentially didn't exist in those days, being a previously Catholic country.

This really used to occur among aristocrats of the Portuguese Royal Family, after they moved the focal point of the Empire to Brazil. I don't know it occurred in Portugal and Europe and I have no clue wether or not it occurred among lower social classes.

Infidelity was totally typical and adequate. All men of social standing would have mistresses (frequently renowned prostitutes who were not dependent upon any shame, however were regarded individuals from high society and would show up at regal balls, taking an interest of talking among wedded women). Ladies additionally regularly had extramarital illicit relationships known by everybody, and nobody minded. They would even take communion, in light of the fact that the Church would essentially not remain against the very individuals who permitted its reality and upheld it.

Sovereign Dom João VI and Empress Carlota Joaquina just loathed one another - they couldn't stand each other's quality. Since separate was impractical they inhabited inverse quarters of the imperial castle and would barely at any point need to confront one another. They were hitched when he was just 18 and she, just 10, and they consumated the marriage 5 years after the fact. The mariage was aranged between their families, and their suppositions on the matter didn't check. The outcome was an existence of unending verbal offenses, regularly vulgar, battles, and criticism. They were not viable, all things considered. Besides they were both truly revolting and without any characteristics. Dom João is said to have worn consistently the standard, worn out, battered and messy velvet garments (indeed, the illustrious family was additionally monetarily bankrupt and exceptionally poor), having appalling propensities (legend says he used to convey a cooked chicken leg inside his pocket and eat it gradually), and lacking insignificantly worthy cleanliness, other than being moderate (an aftereffect of inbreeding). Poor people sovereign was short (nearly as short as somebody experiencing dwarfism), had an unpleasant skin and smallpox scars, and indecent habits. In the long run the solitary arrangement was to live separate, every one having their own life on their own terms. She at that point had numerous darlings, frequently from extremely low social class like workers of the castle. The Emperor knew it all, and he had no fantasies about it. He realized that any remainder of ethical quality she at any point had evaporated some time in the past, and there was nothing he could do except for acknowledge the dishonorable state of a c*ckold with abdication. Comdemning her for infidelity would have finished seriously, as their marriage was an agreement between two families.
