For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.
He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.
“When we utter our vows, many people say, ‘Till death do you part.’…My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow,” Morgan argued.

my wife was the beneficiary of my vow
Or maybe not so much.
First of all, this is Texas. A state where a teenage girl knew she was going to be beaten — not spanked, but beaten — for listening to secular music on the family computer, so she set up a hidden camera and filmed, then posted the beating online, which was participated in by both parents, who seemed to enjoy it. But, because the father was a judge or lawyer or some such, nothing ever really came of it. The video went viral some 10-15 years ago.
This is a US state which has established, through legal precedent, that women and girls are property.
As for what this actually means (I read the article), what it means is that the Republican Party wants to ban no-fault divorce, which is divorce without cause, and they want to ban single-party divorce. They want it so both parties have to agree to it. If the woman wants to leave but the man doesn’t want her to, that’s his property under proposed Texas law and he can retain ownership.
Of course, marriage is a business contract where assets obtained after the marriage are split. The problem with no-fault marriage, to these people, is that a woman can leave of her own volition, that her husband has to treat her well to keep her, and that she can take what’s hers. What they want is a situation where a woman can’t leave unless the man releases her, and if she does something to end the marriage, such as adultery (cheating on him), she can lose everything she’s earned since the marriage, which further keeps her in the man’s control.
And this is what a lot of Texas votes for. Of course, if you look up the big schools in Texas, and then overlay a map of these universities with a voting map, you’ll see the blue spots are where the schools are, just like in any red state. People with education almost exclusively vote blue. People without… vote red.
They want to make marital rape legal again
Possibly. Trump did it in the 90s when it was legal in New York — maybe the 80s? His first wife, IIRC.
Also, I think your operative word marital is a bit unnecessary, given the GOP’s MO.
What does this guy want? That she stays against her will?
Conservatives are bad people with poor empathy skills.
Yes. Thats exactly what these types of people want.
Why can’t I lock you into marriage and then treat you like shit? I made a vow that you’d be chained to me
It’s rape mentality because guys like this are rapists
He wants her to have no will of her own and only follow his.
On his podcast in 2023, Crowder lamented that his wife no longer wanted to be married to him, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”
“It’s been the most heartbreaking experience of my life,” Crowder said, “But in today’s legal system, my beliefs don’t matter. In Texas, divorce is permitted when one party wants it, period.”
Days after the podcast aired, video footage from a Ring camera was leaked showing Crowder berating his then-pregnant wife during an argument at their home. The footage, recorded in June 2021, showed his wife, who was eight months pregnant at the time, attempting to leave as Crowder confronted her over what he described as a lack of “discipline and respect.”
And blowing cigar smoke in her face, while she was 8 months pregnant. The man does not even care enough for his own child not to do that let alone his wife.
The people demanding respect are too often those who do not deserve it.
Reminds me of when my ex had me in a vehicle and kept blowing cigarette smoke in my face, rather than roll down the window, even though I asked nicely, multiple times, then not nicely, to no avail. Then ran to his cousin and cried about me cursing him out, in front of me, then when I told her what he’d done, said if it were her, she would have knocked the 💩 out of him.
He’s so fragile, he gives himself tachycardia to even approach consideration that he may, in fact, be the problem in all his failed relationships (and wonders why his daughter calls him “sperm donor,” rather than “dad.”
Jeez sorry that happened to you, glad he’s an ex now.
No worries, and thanks so much. I am, too. When we get sick of ourselves, we learn and do the work, or keep blaming everyone else and don’t.
Before my last big breakthrough with crappy romantic relationships, I was sitting alone and didn’t leave my home for three months, while I kicked drama (my own and others’), alcohol, weed, cigarettes (still vaping though, let me be honest), wondering, “why did this and that one treat me so poorly, when I treated them so well,” and saving grace of saving grace, the thought popped into my head, “You let them.” It was the beginning of learning how to set healthy boundaries. Not walls, which are isolating and keep us suspicious, grasping, and nasty, nor wide open, for anyone to exploit. And maybe that’s a lifetime lesson, EE will occasionally trust one who is faking and distrust another who is sincere. The point is learning from mistakes, and discerning when someone who wrongs me has wrong character, in general, or is just going through their own stuff and had a momentary lapse of reason.
So go ahead and die, you asshole. She was your wife, not your property. If you had ever even sort-of understood that then you might not be divorced.
K, but your partner is not your property. Not allowing people to get divorced will just mean they leave in the middle of the night with no warning, or shoot you in the face. Pick your poison, I guess, if you don’t believe in amicably splitting from someone whom no longer connects with you.

Men who show up to court, fight for custody, prove they are capable of having thier kids (the mothers have to this too), are granted what they ask.
I was raised by a father, while my mom got burned hard by the divorce. Ive also met a few other single fathers, where the court deemed the mother unfit, and awarded full custody of the child to the father. It absolutely happens. I dont hang out in crowds outside the working class, I dont know anyone who has ever had to pay alimony so I cant speak to that.
People who “lose access to thier kids” that ive met… earned that. Plenty just “make it work”.
And, this has abaolutely nothing to do with no fault divorce. People die when they are forced to live in conditions they dont want to. By suicide, drugs, murder, slow death by poor coping mechanisms… why is this an argument for you view?
edit, and uh, excuse me:

Why even bring that up? It’s not what this article is about. Even if that’s a problem, it’s an entirely different discussion from what’s in the article.
stuff like this is going to lead to a lot of husbands becoming “suddenly ill” after eating dinner. in biblical days, women had ways of getting out of abusive relationships.
Apparently a common story before divorce.
If anything, this should be what encourages religious chuds to accept no-fault divorce. Either let go of the relationship, or die.

When one party wants to terminate the relationship and the other disallows that from happening, that is by definition an abusive relationship. There’s no such thing as a non-abusive relationship with someone who doesn’t want to be in that relationship in the first place.
But they TOOK a VOW…to DEATH in front of a male (better have been a male) preacher…
I’m also 100% sure any asshole making this argument hasn’t actually done anything to preserve a relationship with their partner.

You can’t just say “that isn’t what I said” and then delete what you said, lol
which is okay? The women that leave because theyre not happy? Ive had men leave me because they werent happy? I didnt cry (much) about it, and moved on to find someone I could make happy?
Women can leave a safe relationship without poisen. A controlling nightmare a person could be trapped in… anyone with their back against the wall will make choices.
Your statement also completely ignores the men who end up in abusive situations.
“For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.”
This guy thinks his unalienable rights are for “life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and also my wife.”
I’m sure he’s never actually read the constitution or the bible.
im guessing who was the problem of the marriage, is the one complaining about said marriage laws.
Fucker, you don’t OWN her. I hope she gets as far from his abusive ass as possible.
Before then, spouses seeking a divorce generally had to provide sufficient evidence of wrongdoing to persuade a court to grant one
Grounds included adultery, abandonment, extreme cruelty, intemperance and lengthy imprisonment.
Aside from the obvious that it’s wrong to keep someone locked in a marriage they don’t want, this seems like an enormous waste of court resources, taking the time to determine facts and make subjective judgments to make the details of people’s personal relationships a matter of law. How can someone be so deranged as to think their spouse wanting to leave them is the responsibility of the government to fix?
》Grounds included adultery, abandonment, extreme cruelty, intemperance and lengthy imprisonment.
Up to an (often conservative) judge that may end up telling the woman to “seek God” instead of granting the divorce.
When you’ve already twisted your world to accept that god speaks through liars, pedophiles and murderers, and cares so deeply about your cock that he sent holy orders on how to even touch it, it’s not a far stretch.
Morgan, divorce or not, she doesn’t want to be with you.
It’s not about anything she wants, obviously.
I was going to make some suggestions but on checking google for US laws. Lol you guys are fucked, I thought shit like this only happened in countries like Iran.
Y’allQueda is working hard to introduce Sharia Law
Make whatever vows you want. You dont get to control another person’s vow.
All I got was that Morgan and his dad are huge POS, bad spouses, and probably abusers.
Stripping him of a constitutional right to protest…Dumbass you have the 1st amendment that gives you the right to talk to your spouse and make changes that make you a crappy spouse that no one wants to love.
What a shitty human but then again it was already pointed out he was a conservative in the article.
Just don’t get married I guess. Although I’m guessing there’s laws that include people cohabitating romantically for long enough.
Common law marriages
So just don’t move in together or at least maintain your own mailing address. Done and dusted.
