      Prevent women from leaving marriages, despite the husband beating her.

      The goal is the end of no fault divorce.

      No fault divorce doesn’t mean that your husband can’t get rid of you, it just means that he’ll call the cops and tell them you’re crazy so he can move his side piece in.
