To be fair, marriages are not really fair on anyone, male or female, because they impose themselves as a mean to gain rights which you couldn't claim if you were not married. It's not far-fetched to think that the violence they so often spark between people stem from the tension that getting married in order to make the most of it in life carries with itself, as well as, you know, him being a bastard and all that.
