Unhappy Marriages

AN ARGUMENT FOR NO-FAULT DIVORCE

P1. Everyone has the right to leave an unhappy marriage

P2. No-fault divorce ensures that everyone can leave an unhappy marriage

C. Therefore everyone has the right to no-fault divorce


CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY

P2 is not uniquely true for no-fault divorce because it is also true for traditional divorce law, as unhappy marriages are able to end usually after an extended period of time.

So even granting both premises as true only results in a conclusion which is already true for traditional divorce laws.
