Do you believe the Pros outweigh the cons or the cons outweigh the pros of no fault divorce?

Pros of No-fault Divorce:
With the introduction of no-fault divorce laws, the rate of domestic violence decreased at a rapid speed. No-fault divorce law makes it easy for anyone in an abusive marriage to end the relationship.

Cons of No-fault Divorce: At times the decisions are not objective and leads the way to injustice.
The no-fault divorce laws take away a father’s rights to his children as a husband cannot defense his wife who wants a divorce. Mothers are given more importance in such divorce cases and it becomes hard for a father to prove that his wife is not a good mother to his children.
People are losing faith in the institution of marriage. This is evident in the high divorce rate in the United Statesafter the introduction of no-fault divorce laws.

When the pros and cons of the No Fault Divorce are taken into consideration, it is a clear fact that the cons outweigh the pros. This is why in many of the US states; experts suggest demolishing the no-fault divorce laws.

If no fault divorce was banned or something similar then young people would think before getting married. And if they don’t, then I believe they deserve to be in miserable marriages

There are several social benefits to making divorce illegal.

Monogamy suppresses intrasexual competition and reduces the number of single men, which lowers crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery, and fraud.

By shifting male efforts from finding wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment, and economic productivity.

By increasing relatedness within households, monogamy reduces conflict within the household, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death, and homicide.

It should be noted that Western society is not monogamous, serial monogamy through divorce and remarriage is essentially vertical promiscuity over time rather than horizontally in the present.

Before no-fault divorce breakups were very ugly, and it was an imposition of particular religious beliefs on people who didn't necessarily share them. This helped no one. Mostly it kept women in abusive marriages.

Not a good idea to change current statute

As someone who had to be legally separated for a year before the state would allow us to have a no fault divorce, I can tell you a no fault divorce allows amicable couples to move on with their life.
