Why are so many people marrying people they hate? Isn't that the real problem?

[-] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

They don't marry people they hate, they just grow apart and since marriage forces them to stay together, they're essentially trapped with a person they don't want to be in a relationship with anymore.

A normal couple would simply break up, but divorce is much harder.

Which is the real problem.

A lot of the time because they get pregnant and it's not socially acceptable where they live to have a kid by someone you're not married to.
