Can a husband and wife get divorced when they are sick?

If one party is sick, as long as both parties reach an agreement, they can also divorce. If one party insists on divorce and mediation fails, divorce may be granted according to law. However, we need to pay attention to whether there is abandonment of family members. For example, the innocent party has the right to claim damages for divorce caused by abuse or abandonment of family members. Divorce refers to the legal act of dissolving marriage relationship between husband and wife according to legal conditions and procedures, and the dissolution of marriage relationship is based on the existence of legal marriage relationship. Registered divorce, also known as divorce by agreement, refers to the dissolution of marriage after both parties agree to divorce. If both parties to the marriage agree to divorce, they can go through the divorce registration procedures. Divorce by agreement sets a cooling-off period for divorce, that is, within 30 days from the date when the marriage registration office receives the application for divorce registration, any party who is unwilling to divorce may withdraw the application for divorce registration from the marriage registration office.
