To add to this, when you’re in a relationship and sharing finances, possessions, domestic work, childcare, etc., it becomes difficult to disentangle just what ‘rightfully’ belongs to which person. In addition, marriage at least *aims* to be a partnership for life, one that is (in some sense) equal. Hence legally everything kind of gets put into one big pool.
