So if you are in Missouri, Arkansas, or Texas & your husband is beating you & you get pregnant, YOU CAN’T DIVORCE HIM until after the baby is born.

Best plan for women in those states... DO NOT get married.
@ArtisticPacifistSocialist3mos3MO
Many states hold any baby born within a legal marriage automatically attributes fatherhood to the husband; divorce would break that attribution.
Texas was likely trying to keep fathers accountable to single pregnant women.
But with the advances of DNA, these laws are antiquated.

Brutal. There are states i would not live in as a woman...or man for that matter but specially as a woman.

I just can’t grasp how any man can “beat” a woman.
Any woman.
But the person you love??
It’s disgraceful, cowardly, and literally beyond my comprehension.
