Further, among these hundred marriages there were:
| Intentionally immoral | 14 |
| Dissolute and libertine | 51 |
| Altogether above suspicion | ? |
Further:
| Wives who were ill owing to the husband’s fault | 30 |
| Wives who were ill not owing to the husband’s fault | 30 |
| Wives who were unhappy, and had themselves to blame for it | 12 |
Among these hundred marriages only one was happy owing to mutual faithfulness; all the other slightly happy marriages, if one may call them so, were so only because the wife did not disturb herself with regard to the question of her husband’s faithfulness.
From these statistics Gross-Hoffinger draws the following conclusions:
1. About one-half of all marriages are absolutely unhappy.
2. Much more than one-half of all marriages are obviously demoralized.
3. The morality of the remaining smaller moiety is preserved only by avoiding questions regarding the husband’s faithfulness.
