THE INCENTIVES TO MARRY REGRESS TO THE NOBILITY ALONE

(There is currently no economic benefit to marriage for those who do not have property and wish to transfer property across generations – building a clan. So we return to normal form: serial relationships. Marriage evolved as a means of preventing violence over mates, second as a means of controlling property, and third as a means of supporting children, lastly as a means of regulating access to land, and finally of regulating access to ‘respectable society” by imitation of those with children, property, and land. If those needs no longer exist, many will not practice them.)
