The term marriage has always meant one man and one woman joined legally with the intent of creating a family. There is more to the tradition such as co-earning, mutual defense, shared labor, greater medical assistance, enhanced life maintenance, etc.
Today the rural demands of marriage are lost at least in the metropolis. Marriage has become more industrial less simplified. Indeed, many in today’s society practice serial polygamy. Hence the future in matrimony is most likely to be described as the legalized union of personae in the pursuit of mutual happiness. Note the term “happy marriage” will ultimately be replaced by “harmonic n-tupule”.
Divorce then shall be inapplicable in the n-multiple version and will need to be replaced with the term Secession. The use of a corporate lawyer will replace the need for a civil lawyer!
An option would be the replacement of marriage with a 10 year lease with enforced automatic termination. Wherein the participants must go to court and show need for a continuation. But as Napoleon said at Waterloo…..”Wake me later.”
