Lease With Option To Buy

Mexico City is considering offering temporary marriage licenses. If things aren't working out after the agreed upon trial period, you just walk away.

Leftists in the city's assembly — who have already riled conservatives by legalizing gay marriage — proposed a reform to the civil code this week that would allow couples to decide on the length of their commitment, opting out of a lifetime. The minimum marriage contract would be for two years and could be renewed if the couple stays happy. The contracts would include provisions on how children and property would be handled if the couple splits. "The proposal is, when the two-year period is up, if the relationship is not stable or harmonious, the contract simply ends," said Leonel Luna, the Mexico City assemblyman who co-authored the bill.

Even though the plan would reduce the number of divorces, the Catholic Church is furious at the mere thought of not being shackled to another person for eternity. Of course!
