VALIDITY: Nation must have Permanent Marriage enacted.
DESCRIPTION: An investigation following the hospitalization of @@RANDOMFIRSTNAMEFEMALE@@ @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@ has revealed that she had suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her husband for years. This tragic revelation has brought into question @@NAME@@'s stance on permanent marriage.
OPTION 1: "Think about all the suffering she had to go through," explains @@RANDOMNAME@@, a well-known civil rights activist. "She can't possibly heal from that in the same home as the perpetrator! Abused spouses -- all spouses trapped in hopeless, loveless relationships -- need an escape. And that's only possible if divorce is legal!"
EFFECT: "till death do us part" has been fully omitted from wedding vows.
OPTION 2: "What about my civil rights?" argues @@RANDOMFIRSTNAMEMALE@@ @@RANDOMLASTNAME_1@@, the husband of the victim. "The government has no place to interfere in marriages! That woman made a vow that she would stay with me for the rest of her life, and she must keep that promise! It doesn't matter how she 'feels', love is meant to last 'till death do us part!"
EFFECT: the government turns a blind eye to a spouse with a black eye.
OPTION 3: "Instead of divorce, I think we should try and address the root cause of the problem," remarks psychologist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "What we need is government-enforced marriage counselling, to help women like my wife work through their problems with their spouses. Then marriage would be strengthened, not destroyed."
EFFECT: standard counselling advice is "love the one you're with."
OPTION 4: "I have an idea!" exclaims unmarried creative thinker @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ bursts through the door to your office. "Why don't we just outlaw marriages altogether? No more marriage means no one will ever be stuck in an abusive relationship ever again! Problem solved!"
EFFECT: jewelry sales are plummeting due to @@NAME@@'s new ban on marriage.
