can only say, if you believe todays traditional marriage is
about equality, Ladies, check the laws regarding death. If the
woman dies(in this state) her possesions now belong to the
husband as well as the entire estate, except for some specific
exceptions. If the husband dies, she gets 1/2 of the joint
estate, all other property is considered his and goes to his
heirs, if any, she is not considered to have heirs if the
husband still lives. IF that makes you an equal partner in the
marriage--more power to you.
