Fear and suspicion are never a good counsel. Men and women both are known for low and cheap behaviors. This cannot change by law but by education. The very basis of marriage is wrong. Instead of love and respect and the sharing of joys and sorrows, mutual sacrifice, it has become more of a social arrangement, legal document and mutual adjustment and compromise, an institution from which the spirit of love has passed away leaving only a shell of social functions and common rituals or monetary interests to hold two people together. Hence it is being destroyed by the Time-Spirit. Legal systems are never a solution. They are temporary stop gap arrangements for a half evolved crude humanity.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
