Marriage has become non-important as more people are becoming promiscuous and cheating their partners non-stop. Most people cannot commit to a long term serious relationship.
Also males are very discouraged because divorce laws steal everything from males, so they would rather not marry than to lose their hard savings.
I agree!
They need to make things more equal for men.
Also people need to learn how to have long term relationships, It seems silly to jump from relationship to relationship
The reason marriage might be losing favour is that more women are realizing the importance of ensuring their own emotional and financial security--and that marrying the wrong man will do more damage to your long-term happiness and financial security than pretty much anything else in your life.In North America, assets are split fairly in most cases since BOTH men and women tend to have had careers and have built up their own savings over the years. Newsflash @freddy008: Men are not the only ones with savings, with retirement funds, with real estate. As a former legal secretary I can tell you that men were more prone to hiding their assets in a court case, and funny enough, during divorce proceedings, they didn't seem to value their wives roles' at home as mothers and home-keepers even though in the majority of instances the wife had left her career to raise the kids due to the husband's insistence and or encouragement. Huh, imagine that. Furthermore, studies have proven--and you can go online to check this out--that divorced men are able to maintain or improve their standard of living after a divorce while the standard of living for a divorced woman and her children drops.
Yes but the court takes a lot of money. If we talk about a long case with poorer people the court may take away your home just to pay the court costs, because they summon all kinds of physchologists to examine the parents if there was a suspicion of abuse in the family ,and it easily drains all your savings by the time the divorce is over.
Not to mention the trauma that children are exposed too when their parents divorce, if the divorce takes months, and every time the kids are dragged there. It is a very bad thing to do to children.
