Marriage today is very different than it was even a couple hundred years ago.I agree with what you say except that marriage IS in fact part of the script, created centuries ago by the ancient religions to control people.
And some of them, which are active today, treat women as property.
"Funny" enough those religions aren't being attacked by feminists...
Many moons ago, marriage was typically just a verbal agreement of sorts between and man and a woman. No ceremony or license was needed. The church/society (depending on the era) recognized this agreement as a valid marriage. At some points in history, cohabitation was all that was needed to form a marriage.
Government involvement in marriage is a relatively recent development, and is a vital requirement of the bureaucracy. In the US, government regulation of marriage began with the Revenue Act of 1913 (go F*cking figure).
