Elena issues Alejandro with divorce papers, and everyone seems to regard this as something regrettable but normal. Mexico (the country California separated from) did not have civil marriage until 1870, and the United States (the country that had annexed California just before the movie begins) did not adopt modern divorce procedures until the 1900s. Furthermore, both Elena and Alejandro are Catholic, a religion famous for not recognizing divorce except under very rare circumstances up until the 20th century. In 1850, a divorce would have been unthinkable to them for this reason, or at the very least become a huge scandal and shunned them both from high society.
