Marriage, as it was, as it is and as it should be (Unabridged)

In "Marriage, as it was, as it is and as it should be, " Annie Besant delves into the institution of marriage, examining its historical evolution, current state, and potential for transformation. Besant argues that marriage, as it currently exists, is often oppressive and fails to meet the needs of individuals. She proposes a vision of marriage based on equality, freedom, and mutual respect, advocating for a society where individuals can enter and leave marriages without stigma or legal barriers.
Besant's thought-provoking analysis challenges traditional notions of marriage and offers a compelling vision for a more just and fulfilling future.
