Wikipedia defines it as follows: Marriage (or wedlock) is a social union or legal contract between people that creates kinship.

Getting married today (in the West) doesn't make that much sense

Are you using the word "married" in your second sentence in a way consistent with the Wikipedia definition?  I think you aren't.  Rather, you are using the feminist redefinition of marriage as meaning obtaining a "marriage" license from the government.  This license is neither a social union nor a legal contract.  It simply says that you will serve a lifetime of government enforced indentured servitude to the woman in return for absolutely nothing.  It is certainly not a contract between the people getting married.  It is not marriage by any definition other than that of a feminist.  I believe this license should more accurately be called an anti-marriage license since it is designed to destroy marriage.

I support marriage as defined by Wikipedia, and it saddens me that MRAs and MGTOW have accepted the feminist redefinition of marriage.  Since marital legal contracts have been outlawed in the West, one must be satisfied with a social union, ideally one sanctioned by some religious institution.  Government anti-marriage licenses should be avoided if possible.
