想離婚?先蹲監獄看看吧
If a couple is considering breaking up, they can ask the town bishop to lock them in the “marriage prison.” Inside a dark room near the village’s church, they will share everything, from a single pillow to one place setting. They can spend up to six weeks there to hopefully work out their problems, and it seems to work. In the past three centuries, Biertan has recorded only one divorce.
如果一對夫妻考慮離婚,他們可以請求鎮上的主教將他們關在「婚姻監獄」裡。在一間鄰近村莊教堂的暗房裡,夫妻將共享一切,從單獨一個枕頭到一套餐具。夫妻能在那裡花上六週的時間以期解決彼此的問題,而這也似乎奏效了。過去的三個世紀裡,別爾坦只記載過一次離婚。
