Why Women Divorce

Basically, no good reason.

The typical conditions before no-fault divorce were:

1. Divorce is allowed under mutually-agreed-upon terms.
2. There has to be some evidence, that holds up in court, that supposed “abuse” or “adultery” actually happened.

There was less divorce before no-fault divorce became common around 1970. However, it was very common then for women — including Christian women — to claim that husbands were drunkards that beat them. It was probably 95% fake then too.

Because of this, some churches insist that only adultery and abandonment are good reasons for divorce — apparently, this is also in the Bible. Virtually any human interaction, or physical contact, can be claimed as “abuse,” and don’t we know women did that then just as they do today? Even more, because they had to, to get what they wanted.

Whatever the situation is, a woman can always disappear and not come back. Then, she can do what she wants, except enter another legal marriage.

The problem — oh yes, the problem — with this is that a woman that leaves and doesn’t come back also abandons her children and shared assets. She could probably keep personal assets in her name. I don’t think that if a woman had a checking account in her name, or a property, that the checking account or property would then be transferred to her husband because she left and didn’t come back. After all, she might come back.

If she left, didn’t come back, and also took the children, then obviously she had to deal with the children herself. No child support (which didn’t exist before 1975).Probably the man would have some recourse here, since you can’t just kidnap a man’s children.

Now, she can leave, not come back, and the husband has to hand over all his property, and also a large portion of his income in the future, because of “muh feeeeelings!”
