"I would get married but I don't trust my potential spouse not to screw me over" is just not something that requires sympathy. If that's how someone feels, it's probably better for everyone (them, their spouse, and society as a whole) that they don't get married. There's no virtue in being married without a strong basis of mutual trust, nor is there any shame in remaining unmarried because you haven't found someone right for you

That's what "de-facto" relationship legislation is for. https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/pubs/defacto https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/pubs/defacto You can now be forced to pay child support - including for kids that aren't your own kids - without ever being married. There are people who'll do anything for money. Some of those people are women, and occasionally a man succeeds at this too. Children are a way to extract large amounts of money over time from partners. The state cooperates with this practice because the state will be on the hook otherwise.
