No, it's that now there is less religious influence people are increasingly seeing they don't have to marry.. and women, who have careers etc. are increasingly seeing that they don't want to be tied down and do the traditional marriage thing.. There are many societal influences but yes, one of them is that people are freer to move on if the relationship isn't working

maybe? Like actual opposition to the concept of marriage in general probably comes from insecurity. But not wanting to get married yourself could be a million different valid things

Not at all. Marriage means you have to explain yourself, compromise, haggle, share, and do without. Who is in a rush to do that?

No. The aversion varies from one person to another.
