New Yorkers would be able to file unilaterally for no-fault divorce under a measure that received final legislative approval Thursday. The story struck a nerve; many people shared it on Facebook and Twitter. Here's a comment from syracuse.com user The Great Baboonsky:
"Marriage is now totally meaningless in New York if it can be dissolved that easily. Marriage is no longer a sacred commitment for life; it is a legal condition with no sustained genuine emotional or spiritual bonding required. Marriage becomes a convenience, and when one-half of the marriage decides he or she has had enough or simply needs a change, they can just submit a sworn statement and the marriage is dissolved. Now that marriage is meaningless in the eyes of the state, perhaps the legislators will pass legislation allowing gay couples to marry."
