- John and Mary decided to get a divortium because they couldn't get along anymore.

Simple Definition
Divortium means divorce in Latin. In Roman law, it was a way to end a marriage without any specific reason. In Eccles. law, it could mean two things: (1) a separation of spouses, similar to a judicial separation, and (2) a declaration that the marriage was never valid. This word is still used for the second meaning, even though it is different from divorce. In the past, people who wanted to end their marriage sometimes pretended that there was a problem with their family history to get a declaration of nullity.
