Abstract

Almost everyone who has observed the way in which our society and culture handles divorce has felt that there is room for improvement. Probably one of the most detrimental aspects of our present procedure is that it is almost universally based on the matrimonial offense. If such an offense can be proven ina court, then the marriage is terminated. What a guaranteed method to turn troubled marriages into armed camps. We need to take the war, the guilt, and the punishment out of divorce. A marriage should be simply dissolved when it has ceased to function.
