Chen Ai-ni, an expert on gender and marriage, says that emphasizing human rights in marriage is not meant to put one's spouse "on warning" or to make divorce fairer. Rather it is to preserve marriage and secure the foundations of happiness between husband and wife. Chen believes that it can effectively deter physical and psychological domestic violence, which would be the first step in "happiness engineering."
兩性婚姻專家陳艾妮指出，婚姻中的人權不是使配偶更緊張、離婚更公平，而是讓婚姻能延續、夫妻能幸福的根本，它能有效預防有形無形的「婚姻中的暴力」，是「幸福工程」的第一步。
