Single motherhood is one of the most damaging things that can happen to a child.

There's a reason why great eras of economic prosperity and security are defined by a stable family unit. This shouldn't even be need to be explained.
Right, the philosophical question at hand is just whether you care about that or not. If you do, then that is your choice. Just don't expect to receive a gold star for it.
Also FYI, most women would rather get knocked up by an alpha male and become a single mother than marry and have offspring with a beta male. It could be argued that knocking women up for the fun of actually makes everybody happier.
You choosing to marry or not to marry will not have any bearing on the economic prosperity of your society. As a singular entity in a large mass, you are not that important.
