Yes, we have divorce law in Hong Kong. Residents here can start a petition for divorce if having been married for at least one year and be able to prove reasons for saying that the marriage has irretrievably broken down.
In my country, divorce doesn't have any real implications. Some people even just pack out and marriage ends.
My country allows people to walk away from marriages at any time they feel like and no one bothers.
