Outdated, patriarchal, restrictive, unfair. From a feminist perspective in particular, arguments are repeatedly made for the abolition of marriage. Given the high divorce rates, the security aspect has also largely become obsolete. What is the argument for marriage? The discussion at the Philosophical Stammtisch. Topics in this episode: 00:00 Is every woman still structurally oppressed in marriage today? 22:40 A plea for marriage: What is the argument for marriage, beyond law and economics? 38:11 Should friendships be publicly sealed like marriage? 39:05 Sexuality and marriage ???? Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkultur?sub... Marriage is still popular. Last year, over 40,000 people in Switzerland tied the knot. This is surprising given the fact that the divorce rate is still high, with two out of five marriages ending in divorce. Married people are even at a disadvantage in terms of taxes in Switzerland. Perhaps the prospect of being legally protected outweighs this – especially when children are involved? Political scientist Emilia Roig is convinced that the reason lies much more in the patriarchy. In her opinion, marriage should be abolished. Love and friendship can be celebrated and promised – but neither church nor state are needed for this. Is there actually still something to be said for marriage – perhaps precisely the fact that people can choose it more freely today than in the past? At the Philosophical Stammtisch, Barbara Bleisch and Wolfram Eilenberger discuss with political scientist Emilia Roig and philosopher Svenja Flasspöhler.

The “Sternstunde Philosophie” draws a broad arc from socio-political topicality to the fundamental questions of philosophy: Who is responsible for what, what does human freedom consist of, what determines the meaning of our life? Guests include personalities from science, culture, politics and business - voices that stimulate thought and reflect and classify our current events. ____________________ Moderation: Barbara Bleisch: / barbarableisch Yves Bossart: / bossart_yves Wolfram Eilenberger: http://www.wolfram-eilenberger.de/ ____________________ Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFKultur #SRFKulturSternstunden #SRFSternstunde #Philosophie #Ehe #Patriarchat #Scheidung #Gleichrechte #SRF #Kultur
