I really don't. You can have no fault divorce and penalties for adulterers.
No fault divorce means that people can divorce if they want to.
If you make contracts harder to get out of, you'll get less of those contracts. Like in France, where you can't fire employees (or very difficult) and as a result, they don't hire people. The same thing will happen to marriages if you make them close to impossible to get out of.
This is blathering at this point. Show me anywhere that has no fault divorce and successful marriage and birthing rates. You’re claims are fantastical conjecture, we have a massively one sided market currently and your answer is to only punish adultery? No fault divorce was a communist design meant to bastardize marriage not make it better. We need to hold people accountable to their commitments if they choose to make them. Right now all punishing adultery only would do is make the problem worse. You really think that continuing to enable the gay concept of marriage will really help straight people….
That was your own complaint, that women can supposedly 'whore around' and the man would get punished when he divorced. Well, this solves that. Any other complaints?
Then they simply won't, dummy. You can't just impose this sort of thing out of nowhere. It won't work.
?? I don't get what you mean here.
The reason marriage is failing is entirely one sided. Men are walking away because there is no rational reason to get married. We have created multiple bureaucracies out of no fault divorce, to include family and divorce court. Tell me if adultery was punished but your wife could just up and take the kids at any point then go bang whoever, what does punishing adultery do?
Can you substantiate this? There has always been a lesser willingness among men to marry.
That was literally your complaint! Now you have different complaints. So what do you do about this? Make divorce more difficult when there are kids in the game, at least as a first step.
