It’s always the wife!

Melania came out a month before the election and proudly announced that Trump was the first president to enter the office supporting gay marriage.
I’m not saying that God said the hell with us at that moment but it certainly didn’t help.
Yeah well, government should have no role in marriage whatsoever. The only place government has a role is contractual.
The entire thing is “male patriarchy”. In the past, and to some degree still today, the woman can become victimized by her choice in man. Women need to be protected from victimization but this is easily rectified by contractual arrangement. That too has long been traditional. Maybe other religions/sects see it differently but for example a Jewish marriage always includes a written and signed contract between the spouses. Government’s role is in ruling on that contract.
I have long believed that most “crimes” are covered by long held common law such as fraud. Fraud is a crime and covers a lot of ground. If people are honest and decent, they won’t be fraudulent. But if they are not honest and decent, then fraud may come into play. We have entire libraries of laws that essentially all come down to the question of fraud.
