Article here. Excerpt:

'Marriage is as important to the future of the nation as climate change and poverty, a senior family lawyer said yesterday.

Baroness Deech said the growing numbers of families without fathers was doing more harm to the next generation than other factors such as smoking, alcohol, poor diet and lack of exercise.

And she warned that a conspiracy of silence surrounded the issue because political leaders were afraid to say married families were better for children than cohabiting families or single parent families.'

Like why men are avoiding marriage... the answer is simple: "family courts". She's decrying the absence of marriage as she sits atop the system that helped in no small part the M.I.A.-Dads phenomenon.

She needs to get her side of the street clean first before pointing out her neighbors' messiness.
