The first known legal divorce dates back to ancient Mesopotamia around 2300 BCE, where Hammurabi's Code allowed for it under specific conditions like adultery. This ancient precedent influenced global marriage laws, including the introduction of no-fault divorce in California in 1969, which revolutionized family law by simplifying the process without blame.
