We have noticed in divorce laws an oddity. After divorce, when you're calculating the benefits, the role of the woman to contribute to raising the children is counted as her share, and that is why she is given equal benefits on divorce. It's during marriage that she's not counted as an equal partner. It's during marriage that we look at her as a dependant worth something like a used car and less than a.... It's rather like child status.
Divorce actually legally gives women a few more equality rights than marriage does—which is a very bad incentive for divorce, but some people take advantage of it.
