A Mexican divorce is when a married couple gets a divorce in Mexico. It used to be popular because it was easier and quicker than getting a divorce in the United States.

However, this was abolished in 1873.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A term used to describe a divorce obtained in Mexico by a person who is not a resident of Mexico.
