Item El divorcio incausado y el ejercicio del derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva: análisis sentencia Nº 71-21-IN(Universidad Técnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Derecho, 2026-01-27) Alulema Luzuriaga, Kerly Brigitte; Poaquiza Poaquiza, Ángel PatricioThis research, titled “No-Fault Divorce and the Right to Effective Judicial Protection: Analysis of Constitutional Court Ruling No. 71-21-IN”, examines the possible incorporation of no-fault divorce as a legal alternative in Ecuador, allowing either spouse to request the dissolution of the marriage. The study analyzes the Constitutional Court’s decision, which reveals that the Civil Code maintains a rigid system of fault-based grounds by requiring spouses to justify their decision to separate, resulting in significant procedural obstacles. Using a mixed-methods research approach that combines qualitative and quantitative techniques supported by a documentary methodology—drawing on doctrine, case law, and comparative law—the study incorporates interviews with family court judges and surveys of legal practitioners. The findings show that the implementation of no-fault divorce strengthens personal autonomy, freedom of choice, and equality among individuals, promoting a more flexible and less adversarial model of justice. Results also indicate that maintaining a strictly causal conception restricts effective judicial protection, undermines constitutional rights, and violates the principles of efficiency and promptness in judicial proceedings. The study concludes that the Civil Code and the Organic General Code of Procedures must be reformed to formally recognize and adequately regulate this type of divorce, in alignment with the constitutional values of freedom, equality, and justice
