who cares anything about the two people other than the fact that they agree to the merger?

corporations get less scrutiny!
Er.... I haven't read the whole thread but this is incorrect.

Are you married Sultan? Have you been married? What you are talking about is a financial merger. But that is not a marriage. I was married seven years. We had seperate accounts, seperate debts, seperate assets. We did not share income, debts or assets but, like many modern couples, kept our finances pretty much seperate.

It made divorcing comparitively easy

So, if you are limiting marriage to merely a financial merger, you are straight away nullifying a huge percentage of modern marriages across the world.
