70% of young 'offenders' in Britain come from single parent homes according to government statistics, and one in two cohabiting couples split up before the 5th birthday of their offspring compared with one in twelve married couples.
Clearly the government policy must be aimed at encouraging marriage by offring financial and other incentives.
Originally posted by scipio2The problem with this is that only 38% of lone mothers and 13% of lone fathers are single and not previously married, the rest are either divorced, seperated or widowed. So financial inducements to marry aren't going to be meaningful in the majority of cases. These statistics are for Scotland only, but I don't think that England is going to be that different. 70% of single parent families in Scotland had an income of less than £10,000 per year, the meagre financial resources of single parents go further to explaining why so many young offenders come from such families than any nonsense about the supposed benefits of marriage.

Originally posted by scipio2So scipio if an offender is a serial killer and kills let's say 40 people, yet comes from a family with two parents, then he had a better childhood than an offender who robbed a bank, yet came from a single family household?
I was referring to marriage between natural parents not sodomy.
single women , independent, workers, near to the 40s who wish to be mothers ... but with a husband or a future father ? no way ! 🙁
the future of the society with these boys and girls growing up without one parent , or belonging to gay couples ...
could they be good parents later ?

Marriage didn't exist until tribal groupings grew into chiefdoms and men had
to have social protection for their investment in their female property.
So, you would contend that it would be better for a child to grow up in a single-
parent household or even an orphanage than in a two-parent homosexual (of
either gender) household?

I think that today, at least in the US, guys are allowed to leave relationships with little or no social costs since Regan changed many of the divorce laws. Ideally all divorces would be peaceful, easy, and have no social consequences. However, I often feel in the strive for equality many modernists have ceased to look at the social cost to children of growing up in a single household. I think that we should make it harder to get a divorce, heck at the least require marriage counseling before granting a divorce. Marriage is tough and if we offer people an easy road out, far too often they will instead of sticking it out because no one likes to compromise.
It's the cult of death, AKA, the current generation.
Those that could provide for and nurture children are at the party, on the pill, or flushing babies down the loo .. in other words .. self-centered.
Those that can't nurture and provide for children drop one a year to increase the Guvment check, hook the boyfriend .. or just because they like playing with dolls .. in other words .. self-centered.
We ended up with a lot of children anyway, but nobody wants you .. you're a burden .. go forth and multiply .. or not. It's all about you. You are the center of the universe .. a star.
Just nobody gets it but you.
Maybe my timing is off a little, maybe that was the last generation i'm thinking of .. the one that produced .. you.
