Divorce Insurance: Because a Prenup Just Isn't Enough

 From Time.com

WedLock, as it's coyly named, is a new type of casualty insurance that gives the unhappily married policyholder a payout after he or she is unhitched. It costs about $16 a month for every $1,250 of coverage. But to discourage people from signing up just prior to their divorce, policyholders must ante up for four years before the policy will pay out. It adds a premium of $250 per unit for every year the marriage survives beyond four. So if a policyholder who bought 10 units got divorced after 10 years, he or she would have handed over $19,188 and would receive a payout of $27,500. It's probably not worth getting divorced for, but the lump sum might salve some wounds, whether through lawyers, vacations or subscriptions to the Rhapsody Book Club.

I read this article and I had a couple reactions:

1. If you are getting a prenup and divorce insurance, why not just call the whole thing off.

2. Maybe as a society we should start looking into giving everyone of this country the same privliges married people do, so that people don't have to feel compelled to get married just so they can get health insurance, or buy divorce insurance, etc.
