What women really want

The idea that women dislike being financially dependent on men is a myth, with more choosing to “marry up” now than did so in the 1940s, according to Dr Catherine Hakim from the London School of Economics.

After decades of gender equality campaigning many women now find it hard to admit that they want to be a housewife more than they want a successful career of their own.
An analysis of figures for Britain shows that in 1949, 20 per cent of women married husbands with significantly higher levels of education than their own.
By the late 1990s, the proportion of women who were “marrying up” had almost doubled to 38 per cent. Similar patterns are seen across much of Europe, the US and Australia.

A perfect day to divorce

For most people returning to work today it is a sluggish start to the year, with phones barely ringing and plenty of time for chit-chat with colleagues about the Christmas holidays. Not so for divorce lawyers, for whom the first day after the New Year break has come to be known in the legal biz as D-Day, with D standing for divorce.

As thousands of couples decide that after yet another unfestive season, marked by rows, resentments and recriminations, it is time to call it a day on their marriages, divorce lawyers are gearing up for their busiest, most lucrative time of the year.
