Marriage should be changed to something else entirely

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

It has changed so much that realistically it should be called something else today. Marriage from a historical perspective was a form of servitude for women. Also, the modern marriage laws won't be adjusted anytime soon. What should marriage be called in 2024?

Marriage used to be "Til death do us part". Today it's being oppressed by wives not wanting them to file for divorces.

It never used to be that.

In fact, divorce is lower[www.lovetoknow.com] than it was in the 70s.

Here's the marriage white knight again. They should call you snow flake.

Imagine this situation. Theres no divorce fee and no fault still exists

Attractive wealthy guy, marries 20yo, divorces at 25, and repeats it until his death.

No fault is the problem

You understand no fault came into play because beforehand it was heavily favored towards the husband? Especially if he accused the wife of cheating.

Maybe if you were less of a white knight for marriage and feminism.

No fault came into play because Cali had so many "swinger parties" and regan was like, no fault allowed time

So it did suddenly change. I wonder if it has something to do with the stats disproving the misinformation constantly spouted in this thread.

Would be a weird coincidence.

Who initiates divorces? One word: Women

Actually, both initiate divorces.

The funny thing is, there's nothing supporting that women who are initiating the divorce are doing so to marry up or whatever.

A lot of women who initiate the divorce are able to financially support themselves. This also correlates with women having access to more job opportunities and such.

This leads to the belief that, in the past women didn't initiate divorce because they were financially dependent on their husband. Which is a great control tool for the husband.

Despite all of this though, the divorce rate is still lower than it has been since the 70s.

Which further backup the previous theory since it was right before the 70s that many more opportunities for women opened up in the job market. Helping make them financially independent. Meaning they were no longer forced to stay in a situation that made them unhappy.

I wasn't saying the women are trying to marry up. I'm saying it's overwhelmingly women who demand divorces because they get the $$$.

There also isn't anything supporting that either.

Rosenfeld from Stanford University discovered that women started almost 69% of all divorces among about 2,000 surveyed couples. However, in contrast, in unmarried relationships, there wasn't a significant difference in whether women or men chose to end the relationship.

I wonder why this is? Care to enlighten all of us?

You can keep White Knighting for marriage, it doesn't change the fact that almost 70% of divorces are started by women.
