That really would be no-fault divorce. It would fail to acknowledge the norm that marriage is until one party or other dies.
I never wrote that, it was Merchantg Trader. And its not my opinion.
Apologies for screwing up the attribution in my quote-trimming.

This interesting and hopeful story may shed some light.
Thank you for that, Mousethief. Thank you so much.
