Cure Divorce Nevada Reno Weeks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Reno, Nevada (Six weeks in Nevada - the cure!)" from Mary Evans Picture Library takes us back in time to a significant period in American history. Reno, known as the "Divorce Capital of the World," played a pivotal role in shaping divorce laws and customs during the early 20th century.
The image captures the essence of Reno's historical significance as a destination for those seeking quick divorces. Back then, couples would spend six weeks in Nevada to establish residency before filing for divorce, hence the term "the cure." This unique aspect of Nevada's legal system attracted people from all over the country looking to end their marriages swiftly and easily.
Through this photo print, we are transported to a bygone era where Reno was synonymous with freedom and liberation for individuals trapped in unhappy marriages. The image not only showcases the historical importance of Reno but also sheds light on how societal norms and attitudes towards divorce have evolved over time.
Mary Evans Prints Online has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come since those days. It serves as a reminder of our ever-changing social landscape and how past customs continue to shape our present-day reality.
