The
“Heart Balm Racket” is what the wide-spread and highly remunerative
misandric practice came to be called. It is was the extortion scam
practiced by predatory women who would, under false pretenses charm a
well-heeled man and coax a man to give her written marriage proposals –
written, so they could be used later in court, and in a minimum quantity
of three, to satisfy evidentiary requirements – and then, after she had
gotten her valuable court-ready documentation would then use all her
art to make herself so unattractive a prospective wife that her suitor
would retract the offer. They called these women “gold diggers”; the
grounds of their law suits was termed “Breach of Promise.” These women
were, in essence, highly sophisticated and dishonest-to-the-bone,
blackmailers.
Nowadays,
the practice of allowing predatory women to be remunerated – or given
other advantages, such as lighter prison sentences – for falsely
representing themselves as victims when in fact such women are cunning
sociopathic con artists, is again institutionalized and legalized under
the guise of feminism (cultural Marxism). It is instructive for us to
look at, and learn from, past examples of scams run by predators of the
“victimized sex” such as the Heart Balm Racket, the Badger Game, the
Alimony Racket, the military Allotment Racket, and, finally, the worst
of the worst, the “Black Widow” serial killing, women who married men
and then murdered them, frequently for insurance pay-offs.

QUOTES – from historical articles included in The Unknown History of MISANDRY:
JUDGING
by the falling marriage rate in the United States, American women seem
less interested in wedlock than the women of European countries; yet no
others complain so loudly nor so publicly when their hopes of wedded
happiness are thwarted, and no others demand – nor receive – such
expensive poultices for injuries to their pride, affections and
expectations of comfortable support. …
The
judgments rendered and the amounts awarded in this Land of the Free for
breach of promise, alimony and alienation of affections are the wonder
and amusement of Europeans, and are not equaled in any other country.
When a woman is bereft of the love of an American man, she has, in the
opinion of his peers, lost something of almost incalculable value, and great should be her compensation. – Mary Day Winn 1930 (source)

Breach of promise suits largely degenerate into extortion suits against unwitting, unsuspecting and wealthy males.
Many
students of social welfare and relations believe present laws are
archaic and nothing more than weapons to enforce revenge, retaliation or
collect a nice stipend for the enjoyment of life. That the racketeering
should be stopped is the belief of many lawmakers and, with Indiana
leading the way, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania Legislatures may
soon be considering revisions of their statutes that will take heart
balm off the gold basis. – John L. Coontz – 1935 (source)

None of them ought to get a nickel!

Thousands
and thousands of dollars are being taken by unscrupulous packleg
lawyers in such cases and it’s up to us to give a woman a chance to see
how it will work. It is a start in the right direction and it will
overcome the filchers.”
Senator
Leo N. Smith of Indianapolis asserted that 999 out of 1,000 breach of
promise and alienation of affection suits were nothing but “shakedowns.”
Let’s eliminate this evil from the good old state of Indiana,” he thundered.”-- 1935 (source)

In
that period from the “Gay Nineties” until the beginning of the
depression in 1929, the United Slates courts witnessed a miniature
“Thirty Years War” of their own. It was no bloody strife over religious
or economic issues, but the prolonged battle of the breach of promise
suit. – Theodor Apstein 1935 (source)

Do these breach of promise suits still exist and hold weight in modern US or Canadian or British law?
