“Right, because husbands never kill their wives.”

They do, of course. But statistics show that married women are the least likely to suffer from violence, on average.

Most domestic violence cases are apparently between live-ins and not married couples.

Yes. Marriage is a protection for women and children. Not perfect protection. Nothing is. But it is a genuine protection. Moral. Legal. Relational. Civil.

Thus the libs weaken it to the best they can. Even on FR. Saying a husband is just as bad or it’s ok if you marry eventually or the two lesbians were married too. All lies.

Stats on this?

Keep reaching there and you might realize the fallacies are growing in your doubling down.

Married women are very, very likely to suffer domestic violence from their husbands. Yet you think that women should be confined in a marriage where a husband can beat on her with zero consequence, right? Because husbands won't abuse their wives for the pettiest of reasons.

What a troll you are.

Maybe, but back in the ‘90s I worked with domestic abuse victims for about 6 months, and I think all were abused by spouses.

Correlation does not equal causation.

I don't doubt that married women are less likely to be murdered by their partners than women who are shacking up. I doubt it's got anything to do with marriage but rather that the type of people who live together instead of marrying tend to be more irresponsible and less stable types.

You could probably say the same thing about tattoos and drug use. Tattoos don't cause drug use, but the type of person that would cover themselves with tattoos tends to be the same type that are willing to pump their bodies full of street drugs. Not causative, but definitely correlated.
