scheiden (class 1 strong, third-person singular present scheidet, past tense schied, past participle geschieden, auxiliary haben or sein)

1. (transitive, dated, literary) to separate
2. (intransitive or reflexive, dated, literary) to leave one another; to part; to be separated; to be divided
3. (transitive) to dissolve (a marriage); to divorce (a couple)

   Der Richter weigerte sich, die Ehe zu scheiden. ― The judge refused to dissolve the marriage.

4. (transitive, with lassen) to have (a marriage) dissolved

   Sie wollen ihre Ehe scheiden lassen. ― They want to dissolve their marriage.

5. (reflexive, with lassen) to divorce (one's spouse); to get a divorce (from one's spouse)

   Meine Frau will sich von mir scheiden lassen. ― My wife wants to divorce me.

• The perfect auxiliary is haben in transitive and reflexive uses, and always in constructions with lassen. In intransitive uses, the auxiliary is sein, but such instances are rare in contemporary German. Note that in a phrase like Sie ist geschieden (“She's divorced”), the verb sein is the copula, not the perfect auxiliary.
• The present participle scheidend has an idiomatic sense “retiring, resigning, about to be replaced”: der scheidende Vorstandsvorsitzende — “the retiring CEO”.
