Marriages and Divorces

I have a goat and have been observing her behavior very closely to learn something. One observation, I am using here, is about her grazing habit which provides me some clues about marriages and divorces.

When I leave the goat in my garden for grazing, she finds there a lot of edible greenery. She takes a bite on one and then in hope of something better, hops to something else. And this hopping goes on for hours and the goat remains hungry even with plenty of foods around her. Since, her time for grazing in the garden is limited for my own reasons, I tie the goat at one place and put some edible leaves before her from the same garden. She chews te leaves very fast and takes only half an hour to fill her belly, and goes to take rest. I link this behavior of the goat to marriages and divorces in human societies.

Human societies are of two types - liberal wherein friendly sex is conventionally accepted, and conservative having a lot of constraints on sexual behavior. Te liberal societies are analogous to my goat wandering freely in the garden to feed herself but fails to do so for her race to seek a better alternative. People in liberal societies, both men and women, keep on looking for better sex-partners and their search never ends. In this process, there are marriages, divorces and remarriages and re-divorces ... In such societies, divorces are legally convenient and sex is a luxury apart from being a human need.

In conservative societies, options available to persons are non-existent and they have to do with the only available options. There are no choices, and no possibilities of looking for better options. In such societies, even legal provisions of a divorce are tedious making te divorce almost impossible. So, the goats without looking for better options, have to satisfy their needs with whatever is available. Sex as a luxury is punished socially and legally.
