  • Insurance benefits and tax advantages

  • Estate planning: Inheritance laws often favor spouses, and you’re more protected if something unexpected happens.

 

📜 Legal Security

​🏘️ Social Security (Societal/Community

      Stability)

  • Social acceptance: In many cultures, marriage is still seen as a milestone that signals stability.
