Should Sociopaths legally only allowed to marry other Sociopaths?

Asked by Becca543 (281points) April 24th, 2017

I think there are tests that can determine if a person is sociopathic and I wonder if the government should make it mandatory to be tested before issuing a marriage license and if the divorce rate/suicide rates etc. would drop at all if people were prevented from marrying people diagnosed as sociopathic or even psychopathic for that matter?
I know first hand what it’s like to have been married to a person who fit the personality descrption of a sociopath and it lead to absolutely horrible consequences. I feel like marrying these people can really damage a non-sociopathic person’s emotions, self-esteem and overall mental well being.
The sociopath just moves on like nothing happend for the most part while the other person’s left a broken mess for a long time.
I’m just learning what a sociopath is and it describes my ex completely.
Not that people who are sociopathic should be denied any basic human rights, but don’t get married to one unless you can handle being lied to, manipulated, cheated on and taken advantage of.
A sociopath will do whatever the fuck they want and feel very little remorse if any at all.
Should they only be permitted to enter into a marriage contract with other sociopaths?
