When did marriage become taboo for younger people?

Asked by Lemley (285points) August 14th, 2016

In the western world, at least. I’ve noticed that most people in their early 20s seem terrified of the whole getting married concept. I only know of one couple that’s getting married this year.
Interestingly, none of the people I’ve discussed this with seemed to have rational reasons for not wanting to get married anytime soon, like not being sure if they really want to be with the person they are currently with or something. They just thought that marriage must be some evil thing, meant only for old people, or boring people.

When did marriage become taboo?
When did commitment issues become so fashionable?
