Hmmm....I haven't much thought about it. An interesting conundrum that I will have to consider.

My first thought is that a marriage is a contract, of sorts, in the law. Upon divorce, the assets are split up by a court because there has been a legal agreement entered into. This, I suppose, then changes the situaiton a bit. In marriage, there is a legal agreement, and therefore a larger degree of responsibility on the part of the male.

I do need to think about that a bit more.
