I don’t think it would really make sense. Marriage places obligations on partners that should make it “safe” for the other partner (and children) to depend on them financially if necessary. Many people don’t want to take on those legal and financial obligations. You can remove the obligations, but then why bother with the whole marriage thing at all?
