Marriage And Divorce In The United States: As They Are And As They Ought To Be is a book written by Duncan Convers and published in 1889. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the state of marriage and divorce in the United States during the late 19th century. Convers examines the legal and social aspects of marriage and divorce, including the causes and effects of divorce, the legal procedures involved in obtaining a divorce, and the impact of divorce on children and society as a whole.Convers argues that marriage is a sacred institution that should be respected and protected by society and the law. He believes that divorce should only be granted in cases of extreme hardship or abuse, and that both parties should be held responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. He also advocates for greater legal protections for women in marriage and divorce, including the right to own property and the right to custody of their children.Throughout the book, Convers provides a historical and cultural context for the current state of marriage and divorce in the United States. He draws on examples from other countries and cultures to illustrate his points, and provides statistical data to support his arguments.
