The reasons they don't marry are several as you would have found when you

read those links I previously gave (I hope you read them). Generally the

reasons are 1- that women are giving it away thus removing one impetus to

marry 2--the fear of being raped in the divorce courts (most divorces are

started by the wives). I explain this to my clients as I am explaining to

you. There may also be other reasons specific to her case.
