Frankly, my views are probably too progressive to understand why common law marriage is worse than traditional marriage in this manga. That said, the plot twist was funny af lol

I almost wanna say there might be a translation error? Bc the dude is saying he'll do a marriage ceremony, but not actually get married? But then as her yaps, it's like, it sounds like common law marriage???
Marriage via church is a religious thing, very performative. But after the ceremony they are still expected to sign papers to confirm via the law that they actually are married (at least, I think thats how the US does it).
Hence why divorces are possible in modern day. Divorce thru law.
So that also means common law marriages (that only need a document signed) give married couples hella benefits, including stuff involved with taxes, home buying, financial assistance with children, and more.
So I'm p sure Kotanin is aiming for a performative marriage, not legal marriage (๑.๑)
Ahhhhh yes please have babies together! MC and his wife are a cute couple.
