[Wandering Monk]

Add this to the list of Red State oppression of women. I hope they get their backsides handed to them this election cycle.

Religion in government erodes freedom

That doesn't oppress women it protects them. First of all, it doesn't keep the woman tied to the abuser. The divorce decree and all of its protections goes into effect prior to the finalization. In other words, the woman is freed from her abuser right away. What it does do is protect the woman and the unborn child by making the finalization happen after the birth. This allows the unborn child to be written into the final decree which simply has to wait until after birth.

Sounds like it oppresses both parties.

Oh, so you are in favor of BIG government. Do you not believe women can take of themselves and make their own life decisions?

How does this protect either the woman or the unborn child?

You could make the divorce decree immediate and any children born or unborn automatically part of the decree in cases of domestic violence and any protection the decree allegedly gives would have the same effect in my view.

There's something I don't understand:
here in my country the great majority of divorces take place because the two spouses don't love each other any more and don't want to continue a farce...or because one spouse (usually the wife) demands sexual relations from the other spouse, and the unperforming spouse will have to be considered the guilty party in the divorce.

So ...a pregnancy means an intense sexual activity...which means that the two spouses love each other.
So why should they get divorced?

He seems to think that a child born out of wedlock does not deserve child support. If that is the case in those states that is merely another wrong that needs to be righted.

A pregnancy only means that they had sex together. At least once. That is all that it takes. Yes, some couples have lots of sex in an attempt to have a baby. Some couples fall into bed one night and that one time was all that it took. The laws need to be flexible.

A pregnancy only means that the wife had sex, together may well be the issue.
Whatever it is denying the divorce till the child is born makes no sense,

Assuming the Spouse is the father...

 

[Estro Felino]

A pregnancy only means that they had sex together.

Which means, in our jurisprudence that the couple works.
Do you know how many divorces here take place because the wife demands sex relations and the husband won't have them with her (probably because he has a mistress)?

 

[Estro Felino]

Assuming the Spouse is the father...

Indeed...that's why, thank God there are DNA tests nowadays.
In that case, that would be a good reason for divorce.

If so your jurisprudence needs some work.

 

[Estro Felino]

If so your jurisprudence needs some work.

Here it's all about sex.
For example... the marriage contract implies "duties of material assistance" which means...sex is a duty, unless there is a medical cause that impedes sexual relations. Both the husband and the wife must perform. Must comply.

Non sequitur as rape and other forms of domestic violence can produce sexual activity in my view.

It sounds like that is the strategy couples who want a divorce uses in order for divorce to be granted.

In that case rape can be the reason of the divorce.
Unless the woman wants to have an abortion.

Yea. It's not like the woman has to actually stay with her spouse. It's just she can't divorce while pregnant.

The overly alarmist OP is a nothingburger in that regard.
