Eighty Years And More; Reminiscences 1815-1897

CHAPTER XIV
25/25

Even among the lower animals we find the female ever brooding over the young and helpless.
"Limiting the causes of divorce to physical defects or delinquencies; making the proceedings public; prying into all the personal affairs of unhappy men and women; regarding the step as quasi criminal; punishing the guilty party in the suit; all this will not strengthen frail human nature, will not insure happy homes, will not banish scandals and purge society of prostitution.
"No, no; the enemy of marriage, of the State, of society is not liberal divorce laws, but the unhealthy atmosphere that exists in the home itself.

A legislative act cannot make a unit of a divided family.".
