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.

stuff like this is going to lead to a lot of husbands becoming "suddenly ill" after eating dinner. in biblical days, women had ways of getting out of abusive relationships.

    When one party wants to terminate the relationship and the other disallows that from happening, that is by definition an abusive relationship. There's no such thing as a non-abusive relationship with someone who doesn't want to be in that relationship in the first place.

    which is okay? The women that leave because theyre not happy? Ive had men leave me because they werent happy? I didnt cry (much) about it, and moved on to find someone I could make happy?

    Women can leave a safe relationship without poisen. A controlling nightmare a person could be trapped in.. anyone with their back against the wall will make choices.

    Your statement also completely ignores the men who end up in abusive situations.
