James PlunkettIf you want to know, it was the capitalists who invented marriage in order to protect the laws of inheritance.
About This Quote
Marriage was created by the wealthy so that they would always have someone to inherit their wealth. This is one of the most ridiculous quotes on this list because it goes against what marriage is. The purpose of marriage isn’t to pass down wealth or keep property. The purpose of marriage is to build a community where people can live together and grow old together.
We tend to take the institution of marriage for granted thinking that it’s always been around forever, but in reality, many cultures have had some form of marriage for thousands of years. Marriage was invented by humans to help protect us from our own selfishness.
