If you mean "marriage with no possible divorce is a social safety net", then I have to protest that "safety" is pretty relative here. It's a system with absolutely no safeguards against the husband (or wife) becoming abusive or violent, especially if your society is patriarchal enough to encourage honor killings.

And going crazy in the other direction marriage wise definitely has very real downsides too! I’d be curious to see how the majority of cases went though, overall. We’re discovering the downsides of going too far in our current direction now, and I suspect this winter is going to be a doozy. We currently are getting the worst of both worlds near as I can tell on both fronts (men and women), but it often gets worse before it gets better!
