no, i don't think there are divorce stats with any meaning available on ssm. you stated they would further the 50% divorce rate, a statement with no authority. however, even if they did.......so what? we don't deny hetero marriage because a couple might divorce, do we?
Right...we should deny hetero marriage which will likely end in divorce. This would be like denying a driver's license to someone who will likely drive drunk, or a CCW to someone we know will likely murder.
To allow people to marry whom they want while reducing the likelihood of divorce, we need to require pre-marital and marital finance counseling. Since we can't single out high-risk demographics and only set such requirements on them without it being discrimination, we should impose these requirements on everyone.
