Overview

Love is blind. The law is not. If you are reading this, you are probably looking for romance. You see birds singing, flowers blooming, and a bright future with your beloved. James W. Donovan would like to object. In his 1891 classic Don't Marry, Donovan approaches romance not as a poet, but as a cynical lawyer. To him, marriage is not a fairy tale; it is a high-stakes contract with a terrifying ""no-exit"" clause. We have annotated his brutal legal counsel for the modern reader. Why? Because while we no longer worry about ""dowries"" or ""breach of promise"" lawsuits, the core advice remains surprisingly solid: Check the credit score, meet the family, and for the love of God, don't marry someone just because you are bored. Discover the red flags of 1891: The ""Great Expectations"" Scam: Why marrying a man for his future inheritance is a financial death trap. The Mother-in-Law Mandate: Why living with your in-laws is a ""fatal error."" The Temper Test: Why you should never sign a marriage license until you have seen your partner truly angry. The Elopement Error: Why sneaking out the window to get married makes you look like a fugitive. Approach the bench, raise your right hand, and prepare to reconsider everything.
