Divorce in Denmark

Divorce Until the Reformation was the canon law, which established when a married couple can get divorced. And it could only be if there were exceptional circumstances. It could eg be that one party had not consented to the marriage voluntarily, but had been forced. Other grounds were adultery, broaching and secret sydomme, which was only discovered after the wedding. It could be separated - but had not remarry.
