For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.

"When we utter our vows, many people say, 'Till death do you part.'....My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow," Morgan argued.

    I always say Alternative to divorce is death do you part. Looked at some numbers and its terrible.

    When unilateral “no fault” divorce laws started passing one state at a time, starting with Governor Ronald Reagan in California in 1969, researchers wanted to see the effect. In states that passed unilateral no-fault divorce, they observed:

    The suicide rate for wives drop by 8-16%.

    The domestic violence rate by and against both men and women dropped by 30%.

    The homicide rate of women murdered by their partner dropped by 10%.
