Why does Nevada have a "no-fault divorce law" and why did Rita Hayworth do it twice?!

I was actually wrong. Nevada didn't have no-fault (first introduced in California by 1969). But they did have easy grounds for divorce like incompatibility.

Until quite recently in many states, you couldn't just divorce for no reason. You had to file for cause, and only some causes were accepted. The process was adversarial and could take a long time.

Nevada was different and allowed easy divorce. You just had to live in the state for 6 weeks to gain residency first.

As does Oklahoma's, New Mexico's, and Arizona's.

In fact, Utah's admission was delayed so long primarily because easterners abhorred the polygamous Mormons.

Sigh, added a year to the clue.

The reason that Utah's state constitution bans polygamy (and others don't) is that it would have been obvious to most states that polygamy would be banned.

For the same reason, no states have a constitution that bans cannibalism or murder.
