Singura localitate din România cu divorțul interzis de lege. Soții care se certau erau închiși împreună într-o cameră, până se împăcau

Biertan, a village in Sibiu County, Romania, is unique for having legally prohibited divorce. Couples in conflict were confined together in a room until reconciliation. This practice reflects the community's historical values and is linked to its medieval heritage. The fortified church in Biertan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, features a special room for this purpose, emphasizing the community's disapproval of divorce. The village, first documented in 1283, showcases traditional Saxon urban planning and architecture, with a central square and a prominent church-fortress.
