Marriage: The extinction of an institution

[Natta]

Truth can be bitter, but there are myriad more cases of broken marriages today than was the case many decades ago. The irony is that the marriages today are considered a result of free, independent, modern choice; while the ones in the past were considered remotely controlled marriages. The worst truth is that many marriages today are Christian- based, and vows like “till death doth us part” are solemnly uttered during weddings. Many people have wished that the phrase “till death doth us part” was omitted from the vows, otherwise why do they run mechanical unions while they have secret affairs outside “official” marriage?
