Though no-fault divorce was first legalized more than 50 years ago, it has long been sneered at in conservative circles, who see it as a danger to the sanctity of marriage and the concept of the American family.

    Some of it stems from religious zealotry (marriage is sacred and permanent).

    Some of it is a misguided attempt at rectify the ‘single parent’ problem, believing that two unhappy parents is better than one parent divorced.

    Essentially if you make divorce harder, more couples will be forced to work through their disagreements and reconcile.
