Men used to get paid to shack up. What changed?

Not only that but women wore chastity belts to ensure their virginity, as it was pretty common sense back then that women lose their pair bonding ability with each partner and thus become less loyal. Having a princess or queen cheat could lead to a weakening of the crown and a loss of power, so there was no chance they'd allow that to happen.

Furthermore, the best time for monogamy to be set in stone is between 16 to ~26. Nature gives us a very small window of time to pair bond. Once the woman is too old she can will have issues staying loyal. Monogamy is a very rare thing and can only work when conditions are perfect.

There's a reason marriages used to be arranged, if both families get along and both the man and woman come from the same upbringing and community, then they will be much more compatible.

It was also common sense that women were a burden because they were just another child to take care of, this is why there was a dowry, pretty much paying the man to protect the woman as compensation.

All of these safeguards we used to once have are all gone, and we're not even getting into no-fault divorce territory, that's already damage control.

Everyone throughout human history knew that women and children are a burden, not just financial , on a man. That is what dowry was for, to convince a man to put up with all that bullshit.

At some point it became politically incorrect to recognize women as the burdens that they are.

I think dowry was a gift from the bride's family to help get the couple set up in life. It is a custom that has gone by the wayside.

"Women" were actually worth something back then?
