‘No-divorce vow should be legally binding option’
William Binchy, professor of law at Trinity, believes the lack of choice is inconsistent with a person’s human rights, including freedom of expression, autonomy from the State, privacy and liberty.
“It may be argued liberty is at its most profound and free when a human being knowingly and freely chooses to restrict the scope of his or her range of future choice,” Prof Binchy told the Merriman summer school in Lisdoonvarna, Co Clare.
