By contrast, in cases where an unmarried man and woman cohabitated, each partner was equally likely to decide to break up. This difference suggests that the legal doctrine of marriage incentivizes women to initiate divorce more than men, as women are often rewarded while men are punished by divorce settlements. If this was not the case, one would expect a similar rate of gendered separation initiation for both cohabiting non-married couples and cohabiting married couples. | |||
