Beverley Clark, the founder of Clarks Attorneys in Johannesburg, and her colleague Elmarie Erasmus say declaring parts of the Divorce Act unconstitutional gave hope to many women - and men - who were stuck in abusive marriages. They speak to James de Villiers about why divorce should not be seen as a failure, how it sometimes reflects the country's "brutalised society", and why life isn't merely black and white.
The pair behind the court case that saw parts of the Divorce Act being declared unconstitutional and invalid believe that no one ever takes divorce lightly.
