The only contract that can legally be broken at will

[Sababa]

In the present regime of liberalism, our society has one contract which can be broken at will, marriage.

This is a false assumption. Contracts are broken at will all the time. All kinds, there are consequences just as there are with divorces.

Violation of any other contract is punishable, but violation of the marital contract is considered a right, this view has caused untold damage to society.

Again completely untrue. For example, contracts between sports teams and players are broken regularly as well as with coaches who sign contracts and get fired. Partnerships dissolve, people even walk away from mortgages. What punishment are you talking about.

This is why we need laws against adultery and divorce, and need restrictions on marital separation.

Making it criminal?

To those whose minds are enslaved to modern liberalism and who thus agree with this regime, why should marriage be treated as the only a unilaterally breakable contract?

You complain about ad hominim and you write this. Yawn.

If modern society has relegated marriage to nothing more than a legal contract, then even a no fault divorce is breaking that contract. And yes, fiscal/legal damages can still be involved - but decided by the family court judge, instead of the "victim spouse". This again places the State in the middle of a private contract.

One can obtain a no-fault divorce. One cannot break other contracts at will.

The key to reducing divorce and infidelity rates are to strengthen the familiy unit and our morale compass. More laws and govt powers only pushus towards tyranny.

Social mores and laws are not independent things with no connection. A moral society will naturally adopt moral laws, and vice versa.

You want to legislate morality, while I believe that a moral society will negate the 'need' for such laws. If we are a moral people within, then do we require a legal system to tells us how to live in a moral manner? The govt has laws against murder/rape/theft - and yet they still happen on a rampant scale.

What moral societies have existed that haven't had laws punishing immorality?

well since its factually not the whole dishonest, hyperbolic nonsensical OP completely fails.

I'm sure whatever you just posted was very nice.

 

[Hard Truth]

Anyone who has actually gone through a divorce knows that it is not an easy or unilateral process to end a marriage, even when there is little at stake and both sides consent.

Many contracts are simply disregarded, ended or amended when they are no longer relevant to the involved parties.

just pointing out that your OP is factually wrong and not true.
If you disagree please prove otherwise, thanks

Theses statments are factually false. Until there is support for the OP it will continue to be a failed thread.

What moral societies have existed at all?

Find a man who is moral, and you have found a man who does not need the threat of manmade laws to keep him moral. Morality comes from within, not govt.

People will just stop getting married when they see a cheater thrown in prison... that is no solution.

Now tell me what punishments should we put upon these people?

Fingernail extraction!

I'm pretty sure outlawing divorce would cause the divorce rate to drop substantially.

As well as the marriage rate...

isn't being forced to remain in a bad marriage punishment enough?

I don't agree with anything you have said, and i would really appreciate you not concerning yourself with other peoples private lives.

marriages, divorces... none of your business.

Laws arent 'moral,' people are moral.

And you cant force morality. If people choose not to follow 'other people's morality' they just fake it. They act one way but believe another.

WHich is more important? Being moral or just putting up a moral 'front' so that you dont get arrested?

THe idea that couples will stop getting together, living together, and having families, no matter what the laws, is ridiculous. If the laws penalize the contract of marriage severely, people will just not enter into that contract. And still have relationships. THe OP didnt mention outlawing fornication nor living together.

They will do so, it is the strongest instinct on Earth and people have done it illicitly and publicly since time began. Laws or no laws, it will always be.
