The Superstition of Divorce

A series of essays argues that divorce cannot be treated as a simple remedy because marriage is an organic institution rooted in vows, family structure, and social obligations. The author critiques reformers who pursue piecemeal legal changes without understanding marriage's purpose, warns that opportunistic fixes undermine the household and wider social fabric, and contends that religious and moral traditions embody a broader philosophy rather than mere literal texts. He examines the family, the nature of the marital vow, common marital tragedies, and possible consequences of liberalized divorce laws, combining polemic, social observation, and moral reasoning to defend durable marital commitments against what he sees as destructive modern forces.
