214 Of Divorce. which she is almost necessarily deprived, by her dis .. mission from her husband's family. Where this objection does not interfere, I know of no prineiple of the law of nature applicable to the question, beside that of general expediency. For, if we say, that arbitrary divorces are exclud. ed by the terms of the marriage rontract; it may be answered, that the contract might be so framed as to admit of this condition. H we argue with some moralists, that the oblig2.. tion of a contract naturally continues, so long as the purpose which the contracting parties had in view, requires ite; continuance; it will· be difficult to shew what purpose of the contract (the care of children ex~epted) should confine a man to a woman, fram whom he seeks to be loose. If we CQntend with others, that a contract cannot, by the law of nature, be dissolved, unless the parties be replaced in [he situation which each possessed before the contract was entered into ; we shall be call .. cd upon to prove this to be an universal or indispensable property of contracts. I confess myself wable to assign any circumstance in the marriage contract, which esserttially distin- guifhes it from other contracts, or wfJidl prove~ t:lat it - contains~ what many have ascribed to it, a l1atural illcapacity of being dissolved by the consent of the parties, at the option of one of them, or ei". ther of thenl. But if we trace the eif(;{:ts of such a rule upon the general happiness of married Life, we, shall perceive reasons of expediency, that abundant .. Iy justify the policy of those laws which refuse to dl(~'hlrsband the power of divorce, or restrain it to ;\ fe\v (~xtreme _ and specific provocations: and our principles teach us to pronounce that to be contrary to tile la\v of nature, \vhictl can be proved to be detri. mental to the common happiness of the human species. A lawgiver, whose counsels are directed by views nf general utility, and obstructed by no local impediment, would make the marr;~lge contract indissoluble
Of Divorce. 21S ~uring the jodit lives of the parties, for the sake of _ the fullowing advantages: I. Beca,~se this te~ds to preserVe peace and con .. cord between married persons, by perpetuating their common interest, and by inducing a necessity of Illutllal compliance. There is great weight and substance in both these considerations. _l\n earlier termination of the union would produce a separate interest. . The wi fe- wou~ld naturally look fnrward to the dissolution of the partnership, and et)deavour to. draw to .herself a - fund, against the time when she \vas no longer to have IICC~S~ to the same resources. This would beget pec~lation on one side, and mi4rust
