The question is always in debate, does marriage a solution for women's poverty? Or it is the acceptance of patriarchy. There are different answers to this question. Depending on the circumstances, social background and income levels. Different people have different answers. There is one view from Brabara Ehrenreich, writer of " Marrying a 10 dollar man gets you nowhere, so you'd really have to marry three or four", title of the book is her view. Then there is another view, if you are a women, poor and single, get married. Getting married is a kind of patriarchy or a solution for certain economic problems. For example, women who have two or three kids, getting married is financial and physical help to raise kids. The question of getting married is shaping their economic future. So this scenario is against the Ehrenreich's view. Let's see the statistics. Statistics tell us a different story. Married man and women do far better financially than single men and women. Marriage is not the silver bullet for all the problems, but we can say marriage is good for women economically. But at the end, we can say that getting married or not to get married is all about the privilege. Who can afford it or who cannot afford it is the question. But still a lot of questions are still unanswered. We still need social and psychological sciences to find answers. http://www.theatlantic.com/business...marriage-but-poor-women-cant/283097/#comments
