Just a thought, but I hope the entitled cishet men (and self-hating women at their sides) who are working diligently to fight abortion rights and no-fault divorce realize that they're only making women even MORE picky towards men and the likely result is MORE single, lonely men and happy, adaptable, single women lmao.

Yet another study has found that premarital sex leads to higher rates of divorce. This study shows that premarital sex increases risk of divorce regardless of religiosity, traditional values, and upbringing, with risk of divorce increasing with the number of premarital sexual partners. The study also shows this effect to be equally true for both men and women.

No fault divorce

There are really people out there against no fault divorce?? You want your spouse to have to PROVE in front of a judge, wasting everyone’s time, money and resources to have someone be punished for the disintegration of a marriage? Like COME ON, i keep thinking people can’t get any dumber but here we are! 2023!

Men who are angry about no fault divorce, are mad that their wife can basically leave them freely and without giving a reason. They don’t like the fact that women can leave their marriage anytime they want. I honestly believe that most men would love Islam’s take on divorce. Where a man can divorce a woman with ease, but a woman must go to the court and judges must be the ones to decide her fate for her. 

Never did understand that one. Why would you wanna be with a woman who clearly doesn’t like you. Over time that dislike will turn into hate and she will start doing things that will put your life at risk. Men really don’t understand how mean, vindictive and evil some women can be, especially when they wanna leave a situation. Why put yourself at risk?

Last year, the Republican Party of Texas added language to its platform calling for an end to no-fault divorce: “We urge the Legislature to rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws, to support covenant marriage, and to pass legislation extending the period of time in which a divorce may occur to six months after the date of filing for divorce.”

It’s not just Texas: A similar proposal is presently being workshopped by the Republican Party of Louisiana. The Nebraska GOP has affirmed its belief that no-fault divorce should only be accessible to couples without children. At the Republican National Convention in 2016 — the last time the party platform was overhauled — delegates considered adding language declaring, “Children are made to be loved by both natural parents united in marriage. Legal structures such as No Fault Divorce, which divides families and empowers the state, should be replaced by a Fault-based Divorce.” (It’s unclear whether the party’s twice-divorced nominee for president weighed in on the debate at that time.)

There are men on twitter so mad that no fault divorce and marital rape exist. They want to repeal these but are also mad at declining marriage rates...

So they want women trapped permanently as their sex toy. Monsters from the deepest, grimiest pit of hell.

I am so happy that women have these concepts/laws to protect from them. I hope those men never see a day where they are happy.

Pro-lifers, this is why we can't have nice things - because of you guys.

What the fuck is a "cryo-orphan?!" 😭😭😭

And leave no-fault divorce alone!

If people don't want to stay married, don't make them stay married. It's not hard!

‘No Fault’ Divorce

History

Prior to 1975, it was much harder to get a divorce. The dissolution of a marriage was approached as a matter of contract law and getting a divorce required proof that the other party was at fault for the breakdown of the relationship. ‘Fault’ was synonymous with serious misconduct. There were 14 grounds for the grant of divorce, including adultery, desertion, cruelty, insanity and habitual drunkenness. Divorce applications were often opposed, and parties would hire lawyers or private investigators to gather evidence. Going through divorce proceedings was therefore expensive and for many people it was not a realistic option. Collusion between parties and fabrication of evidence of fault was also common. This was reportedly done where there was agreement between the parties to end the marriage, to avoid the embarrassment and expense of going through a trial.

The Whitlam government changed the law in 1975, to reflect changing social attitudes to relationships. The resulting ‘no fault’ divorce system is the system we still have today. Under this system, courts have no regard to who may have been at fault where a marriage has broken down. Relationships are now understood to end for a variety of reasons, which may or may not be due to the fault of one or both parties. It is widely accepted that parties to a marriage have the right to end the marriage when they see fit.

To obtain a divorce now one must only establish that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. To prove this, you must show that there is no prospect of reconciliation and that parties have been separated for at least 12 months. In some cases, separation may have occurred despite the parties still living together (Section 49). This is known as ‘separation under one roof.’ A divorce can be granted even where there has been a brief period of reconciliation, provided it does not exceed three months so long as the periods of separation before and after the reconciliation add up to at least 12 months.

“If the cult of Eros is an actual religion, does it have places of worship?”

“Yes. They include, but are not limited to, strip clubs, breastaurants, adult video stores, BDSM shops, divorce lawyers’ practices, abortion mills, and anywhere libfems and MRAs gather.”

The way some women describe how infuriating their ex husbands were should cause men to stop bitching that their ex wives left them and be grateful they didn’t murder them.

By Katie Bishop12th May 2022

Statistically, women call time on their marriages more than men. What’s with the big discrepancy – and will it stay this way?

The decision to end a marriage is often difficult, and couples may spend months, or even years, soul-searching before calling it quits. But when it comes to initiating a split, there’s a clear pattern in who makes the final call. In Western heterosexual relationships, women catalyse an enormous proportion of divorces.

In the US specifically, where no-fault divorce is legal in all 50 sates, some estimates put the figure at 70%; this rises to a staggering 90% when women are college educated. In the UK, ONS statistics showed women petitioned for 62% of divorces in England and Wales in 2019.

Now, in some Western countries, divorce is becoming easier; the UK, for instance, recently legalised no-fault divorces, which means couples now have a quicker and more straightforward route to break up. This change in rules could open the door for even more women – who might have been hesitant before – to file for divorce.

Why, though, are women disproportionately choosing to divorce in the first place? For some, the answer lies in how partners do – or don’t – meet their emotional needs in marriage. Yet for others, things are more complicated – and there may be more nuance to these statistics than it seems.

Potential Change in Divorce Law?

Another legislative session another attempt to align MS family law with 48 other states…a change that is needed. Pending legislation seeks to make changes to existing divorce law in Mississippi.
