It is called the "law", not the "I know in my heart."

The law needs to be better written. Actually that law needs to be thrown out and replaced with something that does not appear to equate women to the property of a man. The law on the books seems to me to be written to protect a husband's right to exclusivity more than any protection of the woman.
