Should people be required to pay a fee to get married?

Asked at The Merc, 901 Iowa St. on February 11, 2010

“Yes, but the fee is too much now. I think I paid $2 when I got married.”

“No … getting married costs enough by itself.”

“No, but I think they should be required to pay a fee to get divorced, thousands of dollars. It’s too easy to get divorced nowadays.”

“It should be an affordable fee. … Research has shown that when items are ‘free,’ they are not valued nearly as much.”
