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.

It's not about religion. It's abusing religion to exert control maliciously. They don't want their wives to have agency to just walk out the door and file for divorce. They want to force that legal relationship on the woman until the man agrees to sever it. They don't care that frequency of suicides and spousal murder went down after no-fault divorce became a thing. They don't want to have to be a good enough husband for their wife to want to stay their wife.
