Do you think that who is responsible for a divorce should burden all the costs plus a compensation?

Example someone cheats on their spouse. The other one applies for divorce. All legal costs will be shouldered by the cheater in this case, plus the cheater has to compensate the other spouse for emotional damage by awarding him or her for example 50,000 dollars.

Yes

No

Almost impossible in most cases to agree on or prove who caused the breakup.

You choose cheating as an obvious example, but those just make a small fraction of the breakups and introducing financially crippling fines that are worse than serious crimes, no one will want to date anymore.

How hard or easy to prove is another issue, but in principle do you agree or do you disagree? In other words if for argument's sake it can be proven who is responsible of betraying the seal of marriage do you agree with what I said or not?
Regarding fines perhaps we can bring it down to 20 thousand euros if 50 thousand euros here is too high. But then again it needs to be quantified properly. I just mentioned a figure as an example. It may not be a crime as in a violent crime or theft, but it is none the less serious. Plus it is generally very hard on the emotional state of the person who has been cheated on. And emotional damages when justified merit compensation!
Yes, you are right! Mush less people would want to marry then. You know why? Because a lot of people USE marriage for their own ends. As a means to secure financial stability. These are usually women. When they see that you cannot go in and out of marriage like a cock going in and out of a pussy for fun, but that there are consequences if they fail the high promises that come out of their mouths then they will back off. Like coward snakes running back to their lairs. And the remaining who still choose to marry will be the few honest couples who marry for love and no other reason.

Seems complicated. You have to prove one cheated and not everyone agrees on what is cheating and what isn’t.

[foxsquirrell]

Fair enough. But that is another issue. It is like I ask do you agree that a thief should go to prison yes or no. It can be complicated and it can be simple, but if it is proven that the thief stole then he should go to prison. So in other words, do you agree or disagree in principle. Whether it can be proved or not is another thing.

Yes. I consider cheating a breach of contract

[foxsquirrell]

Exactly.
