“Let me get this straight, Counselors. You pass a law that says if a fellow wants to protect his cattle, he’s got to bring the other party into the back room, open his vault, and count out every gold piece he owns right in front of her eyes.
Then, twenty years later when they split up, you look at that exact same list and say, ‘Aha! Look how much money you had! The sheer sight of all that gold must have traumatized her into signing the deal, so the whole contract is null and void!That ain't a court of record; that’s a state-sponsored stick-up! You force a man to flash his wallet under the threat of breaking his contract, and then you use the size of his wallet as the legal proof that he coerced her. If a card-sharp tried that kind of retroactive wild-card logic in my saloon, he’d be leaving Langtry horizontally on a shutter. Courts and these university professors didn't build a legal system; they just built an expensive administrative racket designed to turn a citizen following the law into an automatic hanging offense.”
Even better, should a man recognize his immense danger and refuse to marry, those subscribing to Feminist Retroactive Capture Trammel (FRCT), and the like, can impose the very contract he refused, and take his gold anyway. British Columbia and Australia use this. A fine innovation.
