I think it should depend on who broke the marriage contract.

And why.
A person who was very abused and had to leave to protect life, health, wellbeing, should not be penalized for leaving. If an abuser is free and not imprisoned for life, permenant alimony is a small price to pay. How about a couple who’ve been married for 30+ years when yhe other does something worth being left for? If she put her ability to earn her own money, or he otherwise prevented her from earning her own money for a healthy retirement...he should support her for life.
A normal healthy young couple, married for 5 years or some small number, who just can’t get along...very different story.
I can see more than one side of this story. Some cases demand permanent alimony, some cases don’t. If the law allows for these variables, then it’s a good law. If not, it’s a bad one.
If it was me who had to pay, I’d love this law. Sincè men are the usual payees, this law could be seen as one more pounding down of women.
