I see marriage as a traditional legal binding that can alter your life significantly depending on your state and country.
You might see it differently. What does marriage mean to you?

A big set of financial legal guarantees that protect both parties.
And also an agreement to make it harder to leave during conflict. Which is something both parties agree to when not in a very emotional state.
Making it harder to leave is controversial, since it in practice goes against consent and the wishes of either party during conflict. Since sex can’t be forced in marriage anymore (luckily), marriage is an acceptable practice, in my opinion.
Force through the use of financial pressure from one party to stay together is in no way acceptable though. Both parties should be willingly in the relationship long term. Financials will however always be a factor, since it is cheaper and more beneficial to be two.
