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 made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow

What a worthless vow, made to something that doesn't even exist.

Okay, marriage is a religious thing, then. The government shouldn't be involved in marriage in the first place. Let's governments do civil unions only and religions do marriages. Completely separate things.

One is about sharing assets and that sort of thing, which can be enforced by the government, and the other is making promises with make believe entities, which is only enforceable in the land of make believe. It seems like everybody should be happy with this arrangement.
