Fundamental Revolution – No Fault Divorce, Peter Hitchens

Peter Hitchens, the author of “The Rage Against God” says the fundamental revolution that destroyed both the English and US societies was unilateral no-fault divorce.

Until the divorce laws of the 1960’s, marriage was an agreement entered by two people. After the divorce laws of the 1960’s it was extraordinarily easy to get out of a marriage. If one party wanted out, that party could get the state to drag the other party out of the house … and divide up the property and children in favor of the person who initiated the break-up of the marriage. This type of government interference was unprecedented in a free society.
