Was this judge right in not allowing a pregnant woman to divorce her husband?

SPOKANE, Wash. - A judge has refused to grant a divorce to a pregnant woman trying to leave her husband two years after he was jailed for beating her, ruling instead that she must wait until the child is born. She is pregnant by another man and is due in March. Her husband, Carlos, never contested the divorce, and the court commissioner approved it in October. But the divorce papers failed to note that Hughes was pregnant, and when the judge found out, he rescinded the divorce. 'There's a lot of case law that says it is important in this state that children not be illegitimized,' he said.
