A lot of people are gonna find out why their Nana had 3 husbands…
Why does the “party of small government” think marriage and divorce are any part of the government’s business in the first place?
Oh. Right.
They also think this secular nation was founded as a xtian one and that it’s the role of government to inflict their version of xtianity on everyone in the country, regardless of their personal beliefs and their right to freedom FROM religion.
If the government’s not small how will it fit in someone’s uterus?
The government is only “too big” when the rules and regulations are there to protect the marginalized, under represented and vulnerable.
The funny (sad?) thing about this is the people pushing it think that this is going to force women to stay with fine upstanding Christian men when the women are no longer happy in the marriage.
They fail to see that no-fault divorce benefits men, too. Plenty of men are in relationships with women who are incompatible with them and generally suck the joy out of their life. No-fault divorce benefits ALL genders, not just the one that the conservatives consider to be “weak.” Ask me how I know…
If you want a divorce, now you have to have fault (sex). This is the people pushing this only chance to have it (men and women).

Yes, very true. The key here, I think, is that the qons that support this feel that men will be given special privileges to nullify a divorce, while women will not. They may be correct in that view when it comes to typical implementation of the law…
Also, the dumbass young men that support this and don’t like women having autonomy also may be overlooking the downside that you point out, because they lack experience with relationships. Relationships are very difficult things to maintain, but if you are getting your notion of how relationships do/should work from pickup artists, or people that compare humans to lobsters, you are going to have almost no clue about that…
Yeah, no kidding. The butthurt incel types are very upset that women here have any autonomy whatsoever. I bet more than a few of them would be fine with revoking their rights to credit, as well as to driver’s licenses. Not even kidding.
If your partner is only staying with you for legal reasons, what’s the point? (I’m a rational man that doesn’t see feminist policies as a threat.) Like sad conservative men would rather chain a unhappy woman too themselves rather than being a good partner. Modern women have changed. Gone are the days they’ll just sit and take it (on a macro scale, of course they’ll be tens of thousands of women trapped in a abusive relationship.)
All this will do is cause the marriage and birth rates to hit rock bottom as women won’t take the risk of getting married. Also the homicide rate would skyrocket. Sad loser men will kill their spouse because they are sad little men, and abused women will only have murder as a way out.
