> Marriage is rooted in religion, for better or worse,

Around a billion people, give or take, in China would disagree with you.

Heck Japan isn't exactly a religious country.

With a few exceptions, the concept of marriage coincides with agricultural societies.

Not 100% sure, just know through a few friends that it seems very shameful for both parties involves.

Also, parents invest a lot in their child's marriage, e.g. downpayment for a house, car, etc, for their child (singular!), so that adds even more pressure to "make things work".
