The next revolutionary step is the realization that marriages are not sponsored by a group of bodiless cherubs, sitting on some remote cloud in heaven, but are of the earth, earthy, and are consequently human relationships, of a contractural nature, which may be terminated like any other human relationship. Our whole method of mating is haphazard in the extreme; there is no provision for adequate knowledge of the proposed partner; there is no certainty that this woman or man, thrown in contact with that man or woman through proximity or unplanned causes, is a human organism so sensitive physically, mentally, and spiritually that it can co-operate helpfully with its mate. Men and women are doomed to make mistakes. We are all willing to admit these mistakes in any field other than the love field, and would hold a man a fool if he remained under business contract with a partner absolutely unfitted to associate with him in that particular enterprise. Yet, we expect persons who make mistakes in the matrimonial field to stick it out, regardless of the unfitness of either member of the agreement. It remains for the new morality to propose a dignified way of terminating such errors. At the present time, the divorce laws hold in practice that the man and woman who realize their unfitness for each other, and determine to secure a divorce, are criminals, guilty of collusion; this at least is the law in many states and nations. Certain states hold that the “guilty party” in a divorce action may not remarry. One party to the action must be considered, legally at least, a social pariah before any termination of the marital vows will be allowed. This is more than absurd, it is brutal. Divorce laws in harmony with the new morality will permit a man and woman, who have erred in their love choice, to part as friends, rather than as enemies, and will leave no stigma of shame upon either of them, nor any restrictions as to their future actions.
