The case for divorce

Many couples dissolve their marriage even though they find tremendous opposition from the extended families, the Church and the State.
At seeing this, one concludes that the dissolution of marriages is here to stay. If so, we should make the life of these miserable couples, who have to endure severe moral and financial hardships, easier. It is no joke to suddenly find yourself without housing, and with much less money to manage.
In my book “Tomorrow we shall be here”, I explain how housing should be planned so that when a marriage is dissolved, no housing problems would be faced.
I feel that bachelors over 25 years of age should pay a tax so that money can be used to aid unmarried mothers. It is not fair that unmarried mothers should carry the burden of the child alone, while some bachelors go on impregnating girls.
