What a holler would ensue if people had to pay the minister as much to marry them as they have to pay a lawyer to get them a divorce.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that if people had to pay their minister as much money to get married as they have to pay a lawyer to get divorced, they would strongly object and make a lot of noise about it. The main idea is that the cost of getting divorced is much higher than the cost of getting married, and people would find this unfair or unacceptable if the costs were more similar.
