What's the point in getting married? - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
If you truly love your partner, does a ring and a ceremony really do anything? I know there are certain legal situations where an official marriage changes who has certain rights, but aren’t those same rights available if you make other legally-official decisions E.G. a will or trusts, etc? I’m generally curious why people get married beyond the “because I love them” when it costs so much money.

    Marriage isn’t about love; that’s a peasant’s fantasy.

    fwiw My family lore includes a story where my grandparents married because they were both poor but then my grandmother inherited a (hard clay) farm and needed someone to work it, and my grandfather didn’t mind marrying an older woman. I respect that!

    but...

    I can tell the post is in the voice of a noble I think from Game of Thrones so I guess it makes sense in that context.

    Ummm, is this link leading to an anime ass for anyone else?

    Edit: guess it’s a Sync bug because it works fine In browser. Sync led me to this post (nsfw) lol
