[Days of Broken Arrows]

This is, essentially the government enforcing what used to be called a "shotgun wedding," where the woman's father forced the man to marry his daughter by way of threats.

The difference now is that the government has replaced daddy (no surprise there) and the men get all the financial responsibility of marriage but none of the perks.

This is the legacy of the sexual revolution and women's liberation. Hope this doesn't find its way to American shores courtesy of some misguided "family values" conservative or feminist law professor (it's hard to tell them apart).
