I disagree on so many counts and will address them later.
However, if you think it should be made more difficult to leave a marriage where a party is being physically abused, I think you are putting your view of morality over a human being’s right to safety, and that seems to me to be as anti-freedom as can possibly be.
“However, if you think it should be made more difficult to leave a marriage where a party is being physically abused...”
No, I wouldn’t state my position to be quite that. I’m opposed to using people wanting to get out of “bad marriages” as an excuse for allowing anyone to get divorced, for any reason at all, which is the situation we have today. A “bad marriage” is a completely ethereal concept, since it’s entirely subjective, so any marriage can be defined as a “bad” one.
There needs to be a clearly defined set of situations in which the state will grant a divorce, not simply allowing them for any reason. That would not invalidate all marriages, like the current state of affairs does, because the marriage contracts would remain valid and enforceable so long as both parties avoid the actions which would allow divorce to be pursued.
Now, in the case of physical abuse, I do think that is a just cause to sue for a civil divorce. I don’t think that it is a valid cause for ecclesiastical invalidation of marriage, but that’s an entirely separate matter, and I don’t want to get too far off topic.
