Preacher's Wife: 'I Just Wanted Out'

Surely that's enough justification for a wife to murder her husband?
After all, divorces are so hard for females to get today.

Is there such a place in the USA, where a husband can refuse his wife
a divorce, or is that just an inaccuracy in the source article?

All wives have to do is plead abuse after murdering their husbands. No
witnesses? No police record of the abuse? Unsubstantiated abuse claims
by the wife alone? No problem. She'll get off, no matter what the true
circumstances.

In the UK there is a proposal (now being piloted in Glasgow) that
women should be taken out of the criminal justice system altogether
and women's prisons closed.

The un-stated rationale is that women can never really be anti-social.
A rationale that is not new, of course. Up to 100 years ago it had
been blindingly obvious to most cultures. What is new is women's
productive capacity; freed up and enhanced as it has been recently by
technological advancements. The resulting (and obviously
unsustainable) materialism has obscured the fact that the capacity to
be anti-social is essential to full social participation. This is
because any group excluded from being subject to certain laws cannot
be involved in their generation and cannot benefit fully from them,
either. A lender (taking a simple example) will prefer to lend to
someone who the law will sanction fully on default rather than another
person who, the lender knows, will tend to be protected by the law,
however good the law's reason (such as innocent children in her care).
