I think it opens the bigger question of: whats the point of marriage?
Historically, thru all cultures, Marriage was effectively a "kid contract". For that reason it makes lots of sense for society (at the insistence of women themselves) to have prohibitions against breaking the contract.
The decoupling of marriage from having kids is a relatively new invention.

Personally I don’t think marriage is even necessary, other than some clear implication in law.
Historically, marriage in many societies aren’t even between a couple, it’s a man with couple of women. We moved on from arranged marriage at birth, political marriage etc.
What more proof for true union is needed if two adults willingly to stay together, with minimum barrier to exit?
