More an more young folks are already drifting away from marriage. My daughter is skeptical of marriage, even with the financial benefits.

If they make divorce hard, fewer young people will choose to get married. That simple. No doubt their next step would be make cohabitation illegal. There are already those who would like to make extra-marital "fornication" illegal.

My wife, fresh off a divorce, was reluctant to marry me. She only agreed because of the benefits (tac, health insurance, etc). Though she is happy to be married to me now, thankfully.
