Assess the argument that state policy has largely failed to protect the institution of the family I think that state policy although appears to benefit people with families and their families; it is not always the case. An example of how state policy does not protect the institution is the Divorce Law Act. This act allows for a quicker, cheaper way of getting a divorce and allows divorce to be obtained much easier. This does not protect the institution of family because before this act came into place most people would try to work out the problems within their marriage because divorce was a long and expensive process. However, with the new act and its simplicity people are no longer trying to fix their marriages and are just getting divorced which leads to the breakdowns of many family units.
If a woman became a widow and wanted to remarry she would have to give up her inheritance (72). This encouraged women to stay true to her dead husband’s memory. Another stipulation of the Legal Code is that if there is no son to inherit the wealth of his dead father, the inheritance goes to the husband’s family (73). In both cases the rights of women are trumped by men. In 17th century T’an-ch’eng there weren’t many jobs open to women outside of midwives, nurses, servants, spinsters, and as a last recourse, prostitution (123-124).
People are also expecting more from marriage, and women especially are choosing to live alone due to feminist views.

Furthermore, this would lead to a lot of people expecting more from relationships after getting divorced, as they wouldn't want to fall victim to what cause their last marriage to end again.

Children are now living with one parents (a lone parent family), with another family member or are being adopted.

However in the more recent years there have been laws passing in order to allow divoce to be easier and cheaper for families.

Talk Can We Talk Chantel Williams Com200: Interpersonal Communication Instructor: Lakisha Bryant Aug 21, 2011 About this article it’s telling marriage couples its more ways to communicate instead some couples communicate about paying the bills or who picking up the kids. That not really communication, that a boring conversation and soon or later you both going to get tired of the same conversation and leave. But you don’t want anyone to leave; you want your marriage to last till the day you die. Starting an argument to have a conversation is not a healthy way to communicate.

I would have taken care of my daughter because as a widow, you can attempt to remarry.

woman needed to work due to financial instability in the home. They saw the opportunity to get better paying jobs and provide a better income for their families. However, that wasn’t enough.

The recommended amount of support from welfare she receives is determined by how much she makes and if she is unwed. But because of this fact, she is more likely to have less expenses and more money in her pocket to spend. She will have fewer expenses than a married woman with a job paying $70,000, and only a slightly lower living standard. (Pethokoukis) This has become a controversy for the struggling middle class.
