Being married in this era means you don't trust the other person.

Else, why would you bond someone until death with a legal document? What are your thoughts?

What makes you think that a student can't be at any age? That's exactly what this does - put a title to your name and judgement will be in accordance with it. My point being, if you and the other have mutual respect and trust in each other - more importantly choose to live together, who is the state, parents, family or even god to decide otherwise.
Most marriages past a handful of years change into a duty or second habit at best as opposed to a choice.

Dude, I understand where you are coming from. I was with the same thoughts many years back.

When both trust and respect each other what's the issue in having a legal document. Why do you want to have a choice at the first place?

Why not reverse that .. build trust and respect before enforcing it in the pretext of a legal document.

Well it's us who invites the government into marriage. It's insurance basically.
Otherwise there is no need for it.

You can't be totally against it or for it.
In some ways you want a back up and the governing laws are you backup.

Its not only about trust you donut, it is about taking responsibility of one another
Making a statement that they are committed

When trust can only be earned over time and responsibilities are shared (by the way, no one is responsible for another) why should we involve society? I believe it's very cowardly to lock someone/yourself legally when you are not happy with the person you once loved.

Marriage is a social arrangement created by humans to raise a family together. So, it is not just about trust and love for the other person. It is also about your social responsibility towards the children you procreate, so that they don't get abandoned if you lose trust on each other. If you don't want children or you already have pre marital relationship which means you trust each other, then there is no need to get tied with each other legally.

This realisation comes with age. It is not bonding someone but making a promise to be together.

I see you're still a student, meaning you're still young to figure out Companionship. At a certain point you'll realise that you'd need someone who is there for you at all times apart from your parents. You'll feel a need to share the adventures, good times and possibly your dreams with someone. And that need basically is what having a partner for life will solve. Give it time, you'll get it.

Too young to understand marriage. Better to focus on productive things.
