Whenever divorces occur, the children are often the helpless victims of the adult’s irresponsibility. If they are wanted by either parent, there will be an ugly fight to gain custody. If they are not wanted by any one parent, they are left to fend for themselves and usually end up as a burden to society. Worse still, these affected children tend to end up divorced as their parents having not experienced any semblance of a functional family life. This will perpetuate a vicious cycle which is difficult to break. If the above mentioned measures cannot be implemented successfully to reduce divorce rate, then something must be done to reduce the burden on children from divorced marriage. This can be done by making people devote a portion of their income into a common marriage fund. This fund will be used to ensured children of divorced parents be placed under state care and end up as useful members of society. Those who divorced once and married again will be taxed twice the amount and chronic divorcee will be taxed as per the number of time they get married. This is to reduce the number of marriage by people who are incompetent in staying marriage and creating needless suffering on any children from the marriage. This will also encourage couple to carefully consider their reason for marriage.
