【 摘 要 】

There is an ignorance in the United States regarding the laws and consequences of both the current divorce law and the fault-based system. This research is meant to investigate the gap between ideology and reality of marriage and divorce in today;;s society. To do this a short history of divorce in both the West and in the United States in particular, is essential. Without a knowledge of divorce and its history it is easy to assume that we can change the laws back and ;;fix;; things. Once the past is uncovered and understood then reforms can be more realistic and useful.
