Marriage - It's a game of who wins more?!??!

Same sentiments, Mr Tham Zhi Ming ('In divorce, nobody wins', 29th Aug)! Generally, in a divorce, both parties lose out.

Maybe Mr Wong Hoong Hooi, who wrote 'Marriage? Laws are a raw deal for man.' (26 Aug), watch too many Hong Kong movies. His idea of women marrying for money sits in too deeply for him to realise that for an average couple, it's more about love/lust/duty that they walk into a marriage. Yes, there are bound to be cases of conspiracy/greed/revenge/etc... (whatever he can think of that he had seen on tv), but should we throw a net across the whole population (or the majority of the population) and accused every women of scheming to rob their husbands?

I also agree with Mr Tham on the recourse for men who married an indifferent wife. DIVORCE!!!! Taking a general outlook, after divorcing, men are still financially capable, cos he had already been working. Straight and easy. But for women, if she gave up her career prospects for the family, after divorcing, she has to relearn the ability to cope in the working world. Employers do not readily accet housewives who had lost touch with the world for a few years, if you are not aware of it.

So.... who looses out more?
