Many countries have financial incentives provided to its citizens to have children. Requiring half of a citizens median salary to be given to a faceless middleman to provide this service seems untenable. I cannot imagine a society that does this would be able to survive.

When your country is led by a person who seems to find children and marriage inconvenient, you're bound to see that mentality propagate throughout everyday life
