Quote by Oscar Wilde
When a woman marries again, it is because she detested her first husband. When a man marries again, it is because he adored his first wife. Women try their luck men risk theirs.
Summary
This quote perpetuates gender stereotypes and biases in its claim about why individuals remarry. It suggests that women remarry due to disdain for their previous spouse, while men do so out of deep affection for their first wife. Such a viewpoint generalizes and oversimplifies complex human motivations for remarriage, disregarding personal circumstances and individual agency. Relationships and motivations for entering into them are varied and cannot be reduced to these narrow, gendered assumptions.
