This is, of course, completely beside the point. THEY already control
marriage and divorce-- the only alternative is to simply live together,
which has potential societal and religious drawbacks for some people. My
comments were simply that the process of becomming married should be
equivalent to the process of becomming unmarried. Currently, it is
imbalanced, it is much easier to become married (or, as some people would
say, get you into THEIR clutches) and much more difficult to resolve that
situation when it fails. I'd just like to see that balanced out.
