    Enforced monogamy? I don’t understand. Is it like making adultery a punishable offense?

      They’re trying to go back in time on divorce law. Never dealt with divorce law, but my understanding is almost everywhere it’s considered “no fault” now. But it used to be cheating/having sex outside the marriage would get you royally screwed in the divorce proceedings. That along with single party divorces being attached means both parties have to agree to the divorce. Basically there’s been a lot of movement on trying to make it harder for women to leave…

        It’s almost like these horrible people can’t win hearts and minds with their words and actions, so they’re resorting to stacking the deck in their favor to prevent equality.

        Domestic gerrymandering, in other words.
