Final thought: When you pair this practice with the ongoing conversation around the legality of women seeking divorce without their husband's consent, you have a terrifying and consistently deadly situation.

Louder for anyone in the back in the US thinking it doesn't sound so bad when Republicans like Josh Hawley and JD Vance call for an end to no-fault divorces.

That's right, one of our VP candidates wants to disallow people from divorcing their abusive partners without jumping through hoops that will take months if not years, and leaves them susceptible to their abusive partner, now even angrier than before that the victim would dare try to leave.
