Sir,—Under “Divorce,” “Observer” makes a very feeble effort to justify woman’s excuse for divorce, quoting economic tension, etc. May I give a bachelor’s idea on this question? The average girl of 1946 marries because she is fed up with office or factory discipline. She casts her line, lands her fish, gets a ring on her finger, and knows it is the best investment she ever made. Now, what are her obligations to her husband? By law; none. He cannot demand her to mend his socks, wash up, or cook a meal. The solution is io amend our marriage laws, enabling the husband to demand domestic duties as a little come-back for the home fie has provided and responsibility he has undertaken. In a nutshell, woman under our laws is man’s enemy No. I.—Yours, etc., ’APPY ’ARRY. June 9, 1946.
