it may be anecdotal but it's evidence all the same

This story has me falling down for so many reasons. But on the marriage question, there is this gem on the inherent nature of that oh-so-holy institution:
"The United Nations says abductions, which lead to marriage, are rife in rural areas."
We're not talking run-of-the-mill eloping either, the story is referencing a 12-year-old girl who four men abducted and severly beat.

Luckily, she was rescued by a pride of lions. Phew!
