Written by veteran matrimonial attorney Rachel J. Ye, this book brings together a compelling collection of real-life marriage and family cases drawn from over two decades of legal practice. Organized around the seven thematic lenses of Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust, the book weaves 30 cases into a powerful portrait of contemporary relationships and human nature.
From cross-border marriages and legal conflicts to disputes over property, custody, and extramarital relationships, each case reveals the tension between law, emotion, and morality. Through a unique blend of legal precision and human insight, the author examines the fragile boundaries between justice and desire, reason and impulse.
More than a collection of case studies, this book serves as both an accessible legal guide and a reflective narrative on marriage in a globalized world. It invites readers to confront the complexities of love, responsibility, and choice-while seeking clarity amid the entanglements of modern life.
