  • Because historically the purpose of marriage was the secure economic and political alliances, and importantly produce heirs so that wealth stayed in the family. Even the idea of formally asking for the consent of the two people to be is only around 1000 years old.

    Marriage first and foremost is a legal contract to bind your wealth together. The romance is just marketing.

  • On the surface it seems reasonable, but it tends to have misogynistic undertones, especially if said towards strangers.

    It's like when the paparazzi publishes photos of celebrities with no makeup without their consent. If her makeup skills are good, she gets accused of "deceiving" people about her real age/looks. If her makeup skills are bad, she just gets called ugly.
