I wish I could find this article but read one awhile ago and it laid out how "marriage" has changed over the years. First, until the 1800's it was largely a business transaction. Second, only in the 1400's or so did the church come into it in Europe. In Asia, Africa, South America.. their versions of church were either only loosely connected or not at all. As for 2022, marriage is not so much about procreation as it is an emotional contract. A contract in which two law abiding adults can enter.
