I don’t think it helps the sanctity of marriage, by putting a girl, or young man, in a position of having been manipulated into marriage, and forcing them to have to live with that decision for the rest of their lives with no way out.

Maybe, but the ease of divorce contributes far more to the destruction of marriage because it makes people think less about the consequences of jumping into marriage. If this girl KNEW marriage was for life with no way out, maybe she would have second thoughts about entering into it with a guy like this.

She might have had second thoughts, if she had a male role model to have an honest chat with her. But I remember being 18 myself, and I can tell you, most 18 year olds are still fairly incapable of considering lifetime consequences.

If you really want to bring back the concept of sanctity, which I understand the value of fully, you could probably do better through positive experiences than negative ones.
