- srgpqt 12y agoVery high divorce rate and overall fading religious beliefs. Only benefit to marriage is income tax relief for stay-at-home moms/dads.
- bryanlarsen 12y agoMarriage in Quebec means "church marriage", and church means the Catholic church. The church had iron-fisted control of Quebec up until the 70s or so, so in backlash nobody in Quebec is religious any more. Civil marriages exist in Quebec, but they're not seen as a real marriage. So if you're not really going to get married, why have the ceremony? disclaimer: not Quebecois.
