RAMOS ESCOBEDO, Alejandro. Convenio de divorcio, género y justicia: y la perdedora es... La ventana [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.26, pp.167-204. ISSN 1405-9436.

This paper discusses the links between divorce law, gender differences, and justice for women in a working-class neighborhood of Guadalajara, México. It presents evidence from women, lawyers, and judges, that shows how the application of divorce law does not necessarily mean justice for women. The testimony presented has to do with women’s experience, but also with that of lawyers and judges who are in charge of divorce cases. The article is part of ethnographic research on how men and women take decisions in the process of divorce.

Palabras llave : divorce; negotiation; gender; justice; woman.
