German Politician Opposes UnRealistic Ideal of Marriage - Proposes 7 Year Expiration Date
Twice divorced politician Gabriele Pauli proposed that marriages be allowed to expire after seven years if the couple choose to call it quits. She told reporters that setting an expiration date of seven years would lend to a more realistic ideal of marriage and prevent couples from staying together soley for the purpose of feeling safe. She has already caused some ripples in a male-dominated, mainly Catholic party which has dominated Bavarian politics since World War II.
I kept trying to figure out why Gabriele would possibly submit such an asinine proposal which has no possible chance of passing. I thought the possibilities could include that she has some sort of delusional disorder, or maybe she is just a publicity hound, or that she just loves the reactions she gets from her male conservative peers; so I deducted that it’s most likely a combination of the three.

Hmm… I don’t think she’s clear on the whole “marriage thing”…
