Does anyone else find this to be very 2 faced...that the LAW & Judicial system excersise all power -
to authorize a legal marriage,
define it between 1 man & 1 woman,
Eliminate certain legal INDIVIDUAL rights if you are married, & then provide only one avenue for dispute resolution- a legal divorce?
And At the SAME TIME, they are blind to inter-family activities which are CRIMINAL unless they occur in the home & not against strangers? Don't we make it 50X Easier for our lovers to steal our ID, our $$, or Credit cards since the police minimize it as a "Domestic Dispute"? Only physical assualt w/ REAL hard evidence is investigated. If law wants to dictate over marriage then where are they when your SPOUSE is implicating YOU in a crime? You are legally not a person- you are a MARRIED person with special rules for your status. Is this not 2 faced?

**We have LAWS in place to protect us from product scams (consumer protection), Employment discrimination, Fair housing...but when you marry & "become one" HE has absolute PRIVACY for actions that HARM you but YOU can't sue him legally because in a lawsuit you are one again. see? We are two for " privacy" but one for lawsuits.
That is the frustration. We are two in some places of law and "one" in others.
I didn't CHOOSE to be a victim of crime. I didn't choose to allow my partner the privacy it took to do this.
You say I'm only a victim of a marriage or a poor choice. You are not in my shoes.
If his crap wasn't so SECRETIVE I'd have been able to make a better choice. I would have KNOWN.
