肯尼亚法官裁定, 情感上的忽视, 和放弃感情一样, 可以成为离婚的理由。 Kenyan judge rules emotional neglect, like withdrawal of affection, can justify divorce.

肯尼亚高等法院法官Ruben Nyakundi裁定, 撤回感情或不履行婚姻义务可构成遗弃或精神虐待, Kenyan High Court Judge Reuben Nyakundi ruled that withdrawing affection or failing to fulfill marital duties can constitute desertion or mental cruelty, justifying divorce. 该决定扩大了离婚理由的范围,超越了不忠或身体伤害,承认感情上的忽视是正当理由。 The decision expands divorce grounds beyond infidelity or physical harm, recognizing emotional neglect as a valid reason. Nyakundi法官强调,婚姻需要相互努力和调整,个人不应因社会或宗教压力而被迫留在不幸福的婚姻中。 Judge Nyakundi emphasized that marriage requires mutual effort and adjustment, and that individuals should not be forced to stay in unhappy unions due to societal or religious pressure. 这项裁决反映了一种向承认心理伤害的转变,特别是在重男轻女的情况下,并肯定了在婚姻不可挽回地破裂时终止婚姻的权利。 The ruling reflects a shift toward acknowledging psychological harm, particularly in patriarchal contexts, and affirms the right to end a marriage when it is irretrievably broken.
