Seriously though? Nah, nope. Shotgun wedding, forced marriage (different from shotgun wedding in terms of details involved), etc, they're the real concern, of course. Child marriage as well, that's a problem.
Normal, everyday, "two adults voluntarily love each other" type of marriage? Nah, why try to "fix" something that's not exactly broken by abolishing it?

It was practically abolished in that case, albeit in a manner that isn’t common or orthodox.
Abolished by gunpoint for the first case, but everyone who knew about it was either long dead or in a reservation naturally or exiled to serve as spectacle. No one sat down in a legislature and thought "You know what would be a good idea?". The process was entirely without the consent of the population because those who survived the apocalyptic war that took place before knew better than the remaining human population.

Openly atheist here, married in a church with Ambrosian Catholic rite to a christian, with the explicit permission of the Archbishop following the recommendation of the parishioner. No problem.

I didn't mean that I won't be able to, I meant that I'll make the choice not to.

Cohabitation is about people living together, sharing their work and resources, and caring for each other.
Marriage is about making babies.

2. Seriously. Massive cerebral cortex failure.
3. I said that marriage is for making babies. 4. I did not say that people outside of marriage can't physically (or even shouldn't) have children.
