While the statutory scheme of HMA expressly provides for judicial separation on fault-based grounds, it does not expressly prohibit judicial separation by mutual consent. This legislative lacuna, coupled with the absence of any express bar, raises a compelling question of statutory interpretation, judicial creativity, and evolving societal needs.

So, that didn’t stop anyone from using GPT5 or any other ‘raw’ LLM for legal help before.
