A couple could only live together & be considered decent & right if they were officially married.

You are so beautiful! So young! So innocent! And you are mine! I have the right to have you! I want you & I will take you! Whether you want it or not! The price I had to pay for this marriage was too high. Everything makes me feel nauseous & disgusted. I had nowhere to run.

Although my marriage was still valid on paper, it had long ceased to exist. It shouldn’t have existed from the very beginning, what was the point in saying what should have been or could have been.

If a marriage is a loveless pretense, & kept only for social status, both will have to face a choice: Pretense or Sincerity. Love or Status. In Cosmic Law, Love is the most sacred force!
