Civil society has always had an interest in the proper care of a woman with children, and the children.  Living together without marriage is a very modern, hippy-commune construct. It was rare to non-existent prior to the 1960's.

This is why a marriage is specifically between a man and a woman.  For the purpose of starting a family.  For all ages, people have recognized that F-ed up families cause societal problems.  So, this is why there is a ceremony and laws governing marriage - it is for the man and woman to announce their commitment, WITH THE CONSENT OF THEIR RELATIVES, AND TO THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THEIR SOCIETY, that until death, they will care for one another and for their children, so that the other members of the village won't have to.
Interesting. Either way, you are correct in that the man usually gets the short end of the stick. It baffles me how a billionaire's wife can get half of that wealth when she didn't do a damn thing to earn it.
