- So what? The salient question is this:
-
- Did her standard of living <rise> when she got married? If so, then
- she has <returned> to her former standard of living, and has not
- been screwed in any way.
-
- Does getting married imply that a woman is <entitled> to maintain
- the married standard of living, even if the marriage ends?
-
- It is easy to leave off the other half of the equation if it doesn't suit
- your needs.
