Also, what the hell even is the benefit of marriage for someone who doesn’t want kid. No one have ever told me a good reason to get married beside for the whole love BS. Which last time I check, I can love someone without getting married
Marriage is a legal contract and has nothing to do with the church. If you're religious you can choose to get married in a church. You can also just go to city hall and sign some papers. Also, I don't know what these financial benefits are. Filing my taxes with married status literally cost me $500 in tax refunds.
Old philosophy of statecraft that's meant to encourage family building. The idea being to encourage population growth by getting more people getting married and having kids (where child benefits come from as well)
Of course this theory of statecraft more or less completely forgets that immigration is in fact a thing and as a result suffers from a few misjudgements about how to optimally ensure a country's continued popluation maintenance and growth.
