In the past marriage was for life and this left serial monogamists in a moral bind. However, now the rules have changed. Under the new definition of marriage so long as she waits until it is “official” she is fully within the letter and spirit of marriage to jump to another man. Those who are moral sticklers would of course insist that she marry this new man before having sex with him, and when she is ready for the next man after that divorce husband number two and then marry husband number three, etc.This is why divorce laws must be eliminated in the interest of preserving Western civilization. While it remains state-sanctioned, marriage is reduced to nothing more than an elevated, legally-recognized boyfriend status. If women are worried about not being able to exit a marriage, then they should not get married in the first place. Neither abuse nor unhappiness are justifications for divorce.
This also demonstrates why the state should not be involved in marriage at all. Let it sanction legal civil unions for any two or more people of either sex who wish to establish one and leave marriage up to the church. The legal sanction of the state has not strengthened marriage, it has drastically weakened it.
