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.

I never understood the alternative. If either of the couple wants to divorce, why is the government supposed to be able to stop it?
My country, in fact, bans no fault divorce. I mean, I don’t want to divorce, but it’s a matter of human rights.
The problem really isn’t the choice to get divorced, it’s stuff like child support and alimony crossed with a court system very biased towards giving those to women when they probably shouldn’t be
Divorce has or had become a “no fault” leave and make money system. I see literally zero reason to get married the way things are now. All loss and no gain.
I think you might have a fair point. I have a different opinion though.
If men are treated unfairly, although I don’t take sides on this exact issue, that’s a separate thing that should be fixed. Doesn’t mean to abolish no fault divorce. In theory. I don’t know enough to decisively argue how practical that theory is.
Then don’t marry. The fact that marriage might turn out to be a raw deal is no excuse to support clamping down on no-fault divorce.
