Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Marriage between equals in powers and capacities is the only ideal of marriage, and other notions are relics of barbarism
Drawn from what John Stuart Mill said
What John Stuart Mill actually said
- John Stuart Mill Philosopher (1806 to 1873), a utilitarian and liberal
But I maintain, with the profoundest conviction, that this, and this only, is the ideal of marriage; and that all opinions, customs, and institutions which favour any other notion of it, or turn the conceptions and aspirations connected with it into any other direction, by whatever pretences they may be coloured, are relics of primitive barbarism.
