Divorce ceremony

TOKYO, Japan - A former bride and groom hold a wooden hammer together to smash a wedding ring during a ''divorce ceremony'' in Tokyo's Asakusa district on Feb. 19, 2011. The hammer is in the shape of a frog, or ''kaeru'' in Japanese which is a pun for the word ''return,'' to symbolize their return to single life. Hiroki Terai started holding the event for divorce-bound couples in 2009. (Kyodo)
