Contracts aren't a scam and marriage is just a contract afaict. The contract itself isn't a scam even if you're scammed by your counterparty along the way.
What if the contract is fair, but the underlying premise/promise/cultural narrative behind the contract is a scam (ie by entering into this arrangement you are entering into the ultimate expression of love and an eternal, undying promise of happy ever after)? And moreover, what if the whole nature of the contract is unnecessary in a modern world -- ie we can still share a life with someone and have deep meaningful relationships without the institution of a marriage sanctified by government?
