    Doesn’t no-fault mean that either party can get a divorce for any reason?

    Am I misunderstanding what “no-fault” means here?

      Read the article. Republicans are against no fault divorce, so they want the man to have to approve in order for his wife to divorce him. It’s a way to enslave women.

        I mean then why did she marry him? Maybe people should date longer instead of rushing into marriage.

          No human institution, agreement, or connection will ever be free of both bad actors and blameless mistakes, so there must be a way to end such things in order to preserve life, dignity, and happiness.

          Our institutions are created to serve us as people, not to bind us for the sake of being binding.

            Or just don’t get married to people with red flags. They are usually very obvious and willfully ignored. We need to stop allowing people to hand wave consequences.

          You’re flatout uneducated. Read some history on what led to modern divorce laws to begin with

          Like this really doesn’t need a discussion. There have been decades of discussion. This is about people not learning a damn thing about that discussion.

          There are many people that are extremely adept at pretending to be one person to get someone to fall in love and marry them, and as soon as they are married, they become the real them. Manipulative, controlling, usually abusive, and you would never know until it was too late.

          What the fuck? It’s clear you’re an incel, but my gosh you don’t get to imprison other people because they finally realize you’re a piece of trash.

      Maybe?

      From the Wikipedia:

      Fault-based grounds usually include mental cruelty, but true mental cruelty has a psychological component that can make it very difficult for the abused spouse to articulate that abuse. More to the point, the abused spouse may be terrified to describe the relationship on paper and testify about it in a court. And of course, a controlling partner will always choose the path of most resistance to whatever it is that the other spouse wants.[14]
