Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Stanton, husbands and wives should be bound together only by affection and share equally in their relationship. She argues that liberal divorce laws will not necessarily embitter the relations of those who are contented and happy, but instead strengthen and purify the bond of union. Stanton does not suggest that there should be no divorce or that family life will suffer if women have the right to seek divorce, and she also does not argue that only husbands should have the right to seek divorce.
