SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the proposal by Mexico City lawmakers to introduce temporary marriage licenses, allowing couples to opt for marriage contracts lasting a minimum of two years. This initiative aims to reduce the financial and emotional burdens associated with divorce, which many participants argue is exacerbated by the current lifelong marriage model. Participants express a range of opinions, with some supporting the idea as a way to encourage couples to take marriage more seriously, while others question the implications of treating marriage as a temporary arrangement.

How would this apply if the couple have children and then get a divorce? If the mtoher doesn't work, how much could she get from the husband?

The Church holds considerable sway in the country with the world's second largest Catholic population after Brazil.

I would have thought it would be tough to get traction for such an idea in a country that is so heavily Catholic.

That was my first thought. Of course the Catholic church is against it.

I could see it work for students. You can marry your college sweetheart and by the time the marriage ends no one is going to call you a fornicator (not that people use this word often in the western world)

Not to mention it's an extremely effective way of deciding who owns a woman.

The correct answer is "no one. Ever."
