    Let's see: "Decree nisi
    – the provisional order indicating that the court is satisfied that the ground for divorce has been established.

    "Decree absolute
    – the final order of the court, which brings the marriage to an end."

    "A decree nisi is the penultimate stage of the divorce. It is pronounced in open court. It simply means that, if there is any reason why the parties should not be finally divorced, this reason should be put forward within the following six weeks." and

    "The petitioner can apply for decree nisi to be made absolute after a clear six weeks have passed from the grant of decree nisi. If the petitioner does not apply, for whatever reason, the respondent can do so three months later as long as he or she gives notice to the petitioner. This leads to a court hearing. The marriage is over for good once the decree absolute is pronounced."
