Divorce is one of those creations, like fast food and lite rock, that has more people willing to indulge Zin it than people willing to defend it. Back in the 1960s, easier divorce was hailed as a needed remedy for toxic relationships. But
familiarity has bred contempt
. In recent years, the divorce revolution has been blamed for worsening all sorts of problems without bringing happiness to people in unhappy marriages.
There’s a lot of evidence that marital breakup does more social harm than good. In their 2000 book, The Case for Marriage, Linda Waite and Maggie Gallagher document that adults who are married do better than singles in wealth, health, and personal satisfaction. Children living with a divorced or unwed single parent are more likely to fall into poverty, sickness, and crime than other kids.
Marriage is a good thing, most people agree, while divorce is, at best, a necessary evil. So the laws that accompanied the divorce revolution have come under fire for destroying families and weakening safeguards for spouses who keep their vows.
Waite and Gallagher argue that loose divorce laws harm even intact households by fostering chronic uncertainty. Louisiana, in line with this criticism, has gone so far as to provide a "covenant marriage" option for couples who want the protection of stricter divorce rules.
It may seem obvious that easier divorce laws make for more divorce and more insecurity. But what is obvious is not necessarily true. What two scholars have found is that when you make divorce easier to get, you may actually produce better marriages.
In the old days, anyone who wanted to escape from the trials of wedlock had to get his or her spouse to agree to a split, or else go to court to prove the partner had done something terribly wrong(such as committing adultery). The 1960s and 70s’, brought "no-fault" divorce, which is also known as "unilateral divorce", since either party can bring it about without the consent of the other.
The first surprise is that looser divorce laws have actually had little effect on the number of marriages that fall apart. Economist Justin Wolfers of Stanford University, in a study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research(NBER), found that when California passed a no-fault divorce law in 1970, the divorce rate jumped, then fell back to its old level—and then fell some more.
That was also the pattern in other states that loosened their laws. Over time, he estimates, the chance that a first marriage would break up rose by just one-fourth of one percentage point, which is next to nothing.
According to the book, The Case for Marriage, divorce______.
选项
A、serves as a trigger for juvenile delinquency
B、harms health, and lessens personal satisfaction
C、is the primary reason for poverty and sickness
D、does harm to both adults and children involved
答案
D
解析
第二段以“The Case for Marriage”这本书的内容为论据,说明该段第一句话所提出的论点“marital breakup does more social harm than good”。所以,D应为答案。
