You do realize that an end to no fault divorce means that a man who realizes he's made a mistake by marrying the wrong woman would be stuck in it too, right?
Yes, I do. Like every law, there are trade offs. Right now the balance is tipped towards women.
And divorces can happen any time. I know someone who's been married for 20 years whose husband dipped. People change.
They do.
"A man enters a marriage expecting the woman to stay the same. A woman enters a marriage expecting the man to change. Both are wrong."
A marriage is a legal contract.
It is. And if one party breaks the contract, why should the injured party come out the pocket?
In a regular contract, when there is a breach, the law has remedies.
If she ain't on love no more, why should she get any of his money? Why should she get the children by presumption?
Men are out here getting married without knowing shyt about family law in their state. Maybe THATS an issue. I can't imagine getting into a contract where I could possibly lose money without at least doing some research first, but mf thing of weddings as just a big party and a super duper serious promise that you'll never leave each other. It's shocking to see supposedly grown adults having such a childish view on this shyt.
Most guys do know what they're getting into, so do most women. It's a bad deal for men and generally a good deal for women. But men do it anyway.
We allow people to make bad decisions. It's why cars go faster than 55 mph and alcohol is for sale.
But we don't allow excessive interest, we don't honor contracts made under duress, we don't let children enter into employment contracts.
No fault divorce, along with some other provisions like DNA testing at birth...
The media and the conservatives are not looking at marriage that way. The media is concerned about "modern women", and white conservatives want to use any means necessary to create more white babies.
None of this is from a man's perspective.
