Answer 2

Marriage is a voluntary legal status, which specific legal rights and legal obligations. And like any other voluntary legal status, there must be a way to change or terminate that status.

I'm not talking about religious doctrine. Or what any church does or declares or allows. I am only talking about legal marriage and divorce.

Marriage is a legal relationship, where there is shared liability for financial decisions, where each partner is to some degree responsible for the other partner's debts, and especially a legal status that is defined as being exclusively between two peoplee. Can you image what things would be like if people could enter that status, and accept the financial liability and legal limitations and requirements that go with it, but not terminate that status no matter how long you've been apart?

It is an unarguable reality that some couples will not stay together, and will not remain monogamous. If people could not choose to terminate the legal ties that bound them, then far fewer peopl would ever get married, because of the legal dangers of being financially entangled with someone regardless of whether you stay together or not.

Answer 3

Hi, I'm only going to list one reason.

Many people will say that if divorce was illegal, then people would work harder at their marriages. While I believe that this is mostly true, not ALL marriages can be saved. Back in the days when divorce was illegal, people still separated. Thay would maintain their own households, and often, they would meet someone who they really would want to marry, but couldn't since they were already married. So they would pretend to be married, sharing a household and even having children. Or they would lie and say they weren't married and go through with another marriage which was, unbeknownst to the new spouse, completely void. This means that there were many, MANY "marriages" that were actually not marriages at all. They were only pretend.

Now compound this with the eventual death of one of the spouses, when the widow finds out that she and her children have no legal right to the house they lived in and helped maintain. The estate actually goes to: the first wife, the one who's been out of the picture for 40 years.

In short, the best way to keep marriage true and legal is to keep divorce true and legal.
