Well men are afraid to marry women because of the no-fault divorce laws.
No fault divorce actually rules in the man's favour now as assets are split evenly compared to the past.
Before 1986 in Canada the woman could retain the house until the youngest child was one full year out of school. Then the house was sold and divided (not always evenly) and in the mean time the husband paid support, mortgage etc. The reason was, it was mostly the man who was at fault because MOST women did stay at home and it was the man who got into trouble outside the home. (In the US this law came into affect earlier in 1969 under divorced Ronald Reagan)
At that time there were almost no women in politics (as it should be) so the men brought in no fault divorce (for their benefit) almost forcing the women to work or at the very least be prepared to work.
All just another part of the slippery slope of the last hundred years to destroy the family.
I heard of stories where women who have many children with their husbands just file for divorce and bleed as much money as possible from the man. Try to get full custody, bad-mouth the dad to the children. The men become suicidal because their wages are being garnished and they have no motivation to work. They have the risk of never seeing their children again and witnessing some other man raise them.
And that's just what they are...stories. You know what happens with gossip...it gets added to.
If true, the above story would be terrible, HOWEVER, that's only one side or part of the story... the result.
If you got to actually read family court and divorce court docuмents or sat on a jury, the above story is what the wife is often willing to endure (being labeled a shrew or gold digger) rather than have the story of family incest become public knowledge. Sometimes the husband deserves what he gets.
