20 Marriage as a
human institution is facing its
greatest threat ever in the twentieth century. Never, since the first man and the
first woman where join together, has the institution been beset by as many problem as it is now. And this trend which started in the west world, has spread and is spreading
to all part of the globe.
The most
disturbing problem is the high rate of divorce. its no longer a social stigma for women
to fill in forms indicating that
they are divorcees; men, too, proclaim
their liberty from the shackle of
matrimony somehow with pride little wonder that young couple resort to separate and eventually divorced, at the
slightest disagreement. The availability of
and alternative aggravate the
seriousness of their problem. Instead of
entering into matrimony, very many couple simple decide to live together. Even the court now recognize such common law marriages, and respect the right of
partners in such associations. The great advantage this accord the
partner is the fluidity of the association the ease with which one or both can call off the union . beside, very many countries now enact laws that recognize the rights
of children born out of wedlock.
This singular factor has helped to shoot up the number of such children
in many civilized communities.
