Modern Marriage

Apparently marriage has just become even more dangerous than before, so think twice before leaping:

Excerpts:

The suits are allowed in seven states: Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.

Most states have abolished alienation of affection lawsuits.


It is getting LESS dangerous, if anything.

I sure hope you're right! This is the first I've ever heard of this preposterous notion, so I naturally thought it was just starting. It seems the perfect successor to "political correctness."

I'd like to see how many of these cases actually get successfully tried. That's why people side-step out of a marriage.

I guess I would be against it from the standpoint that the person that would be sued is actually doing a good deed. After all, he/she is exposing the bad spouse for what he/she is and probably taking that problem away from the wronged spouse. I look at it like you buying my broken down car at book value. Take it for that and I will also buy you dinner.
