I suspect that there only appears to be less divorce because so many men now dare not marry in the first place. And that is not a good thing for women in the long run. Or even in the short run.
It is high time to entitle each divorcing spouse to one per cent of the other's estate up to fifty per cent, to disentitle the petitioning spouse unless fault be proved, to entitle any marrying couple to register their marriage as bound by the law prior to 1969 as regards grounds and procedures for divorce, to enable any religious organisation to specify that any marriage which it conducts shall be so bound (and to counsel couples accordingly), to legislate that the Church of England be such a body unless the General Synod specifically resolve the contrary by a two-thirds majority in all three Houses, and to do something similar for the Methodist and United Reformed Churches, which also exist pursuant to Acts of Parliament; I will have to check the exact legislation relating to the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy, but if something similar can be done, then it must be done.
