You and I, we have no family. No name, no dowry. Our only option is to take a man just as penniless. And then what? We can't afford to live together. And if we had children we'd just be bringing them into the same miserable poverty. So what's the point? Why bother dealing with marriage when we aren't even entitled to any of its benefits? That's how it is for us. That's how it will always be for us.
