divorces should be illegal...yes im serious
 

how many kids helplessly watch their families split up after the long dreadful experience of witnessing their parents fight and argue or even possibly become associated with domestic abuse, cheating, alcoholism, and more?

if our government wouldnt allow divorces think how much more careful men and women would be in their decisions to marry. it would lead our people to be more accurate in who is right for a happy family lifestyle and who isnt. people are freely given the option to back out of a marriage when their too far in causing it to effect the lifes of their offspring. maybe people would make less poor decisions in who they marry and it would prevent women from using men to get money through child support.

i dunno just my opinion

It wouldn't work.

Do you really think people get married and know it won't work out? Making divorce illegal would just turn marriage into more of a trap. What is worse, the kid having his parents divorce, or the kid having his parents hate eachother for the rest of their lives, always fighting and cheating, possibly in extreme cases one of them murdering/hiring someone to murder their partner so that they can once again have freedom.

If you want to make something illegal to stop the problems you're talking about, idiocy would have to be illegal. Either that or selfishness, or irresponsible people having children.

are you fucking kidding me!

comepletely disagreed

Impossible.....

And not to mention a proposal that obscures freedom of choice.....

Theres way more horrible things that can happen before the eyes of a child than a divorce...

disagreed, but it's been covered.

you know how many "families" have kids before they're married? thats the loophole, just dont get married and the father or mother can still leave the household, banning divorce wouldnt do anything, they just wouldnt get married and still have the opportunity to abandon their family

Marriage doesn't have any value anymore. Really it's nothing but a bond that means if the man leaves the woman she gets money. Other than that it's just like leaving a regular girlfriend.

So, do you propose someone stay in an abusive relationship for the sake of staying married? Here's the problem. Most people who get married aren't ready to get married in the first place. Instead of making divorces illegal, the government should mandate counseling and therapy for couples before they're even allowed to get married.

Why even get married? I dont need a peice of paper that says I love her and want to spend the rest of my life with her.
Marriage makes no sense at all except were forced to buy two rings and her cheap ass buys us one.

ill be back in about ten minutes to destroy some of these wack theories.

^^i mainly made this thread to get some debate/activity going on this site..i obviously agree with alot of these people who posted in here i was just sharing a thought thats defintly open to alot of disagreement

^^Well...marriage is more of a contract than anything else...You get lots of government benefits for being married...I just don't know if it's as significant in the 21st century as it was back in the "day"...


nah mean

Marriage is one of the longest standing social traditions. Lol ok, it doesn't have any significance anymore... but millions of people think it does, and it, in some form, is a major part of world cultures.

I agree with monogomy, but marraige itself HAS lost significants. People can be ultra super duper excited/shocked about something getting married, but come on, if anyones getting married that "till death do you part" shit is a joke. Everyone knows damn well if shit doesnt work out just get a divorce. There's nothing permenant. Anything permenant has even become opinionated. Some ppl say the 1st person you married will be with you in heaven, and some people say its your "true love". I mean wtf it's like happy fun play time now or some shit. I'm sure I'll still get married regardless, but like most people who do they just feel like it's something you have to do or you= a loser.

And why is that?

I read a stat in the National Post a week or two ago that said (here in Canada anyways) the divorce rate is 62 or 63% (cant remember which one). But dayum. If you get married - you got less than half a chance at it working lol. Jus thought I'd add that.

I respect your opinion completely...and don't necessarily disagree with it...but divorces impact on kids is circumstancial...You have to raise your child from the beginning...to be an understanding individual...now obviously the type of understanding that is required to not have serious short term or long term mental effects on a child isn't necessarily possible by younger ones....but in a lot of cases...divorces impact on children is the parents fault, not because of the divorce itself..but because of the way it was handled.


Now, the problem with your suggestion of making it illegal. If it was illegal...it wouldn't stop people from getting married hardly at all..some yes...but most people really feel like they are in love at the time...and whatever obstacles come before them...will be worked out...well....people get tired of eachother sometimes...and divorce is any easy way out....so all making it illegal would do, is force people to stay together against their will...which is illegal...and people just wouldn't get divorced..they could still seperate...and be married..and see other people...and live their own lives...and im willing to bet...that the ammount of people who actually stay together because divorce is illegal...and their kids are better off for it....there will still be part who seperate anyways....not to mention that the idea of being trapped with someone is going to bring out the worst in some...which is going to be worse for the children...so either way...it's lose lose
