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