I'm wondering if it goes back to cro-magnum times. Drag this woman into the cave & keep her.
Many things in our lifetime have changed, yet this one is still holding on. Maybe by a thread?

It’s holding on but it’s not unchanged. People now live together unmarried or choose singlehood for life or get divorced or have kids by themselves etc Marriage is a choice now. So you can’t say it didn’t change as an institution. It did as it now became a choice. In the past it was pretty much the only way to live. Not anymore
