IMO it's more about control. I went to Christian private school. Students dating was forbidden.
They keep children sheltered before pushing them into a marriage/parenthood that is sustained by their participation in the church community. Tho this doesn't seem to work as well these days as I know of several marriages that ended within 1 year.
From there it's a simple matter of peer pressure to keep people in line. I've seen parents disown their children to protect their reputation at church.
It's a fucking cult.
