The Superstition of Divorce

G. K. Chesterton

The Superstition of Divorce, written by G. K. Chesterton in 1920, is a philosophical critique of divorce's social and moral implications. Chesterton argues that divorce, often viewed as a form of liberation, actually undermines the sanctity of marriage as a sacred vow. Through a series of essays, he examines the historical significance of marriage and the potential consequences of increasing divorce rates on Western civilization, making this work a notable piece of cultural criticism.
