This is one of many situations in which I would say: before we start trying to reduce something by restricting it, have we tried all (or any) options for reducing it by giving people better options.
Also, to be frank, I don’t understand why it’s my business your yours if third parties get in and out of marriages flippantly. I don’t expect others to get married in my faith tradition, why should it matter to me if they get married by an Elvis impersonator every Saturday night?
If it’s about kids, the solutions should be about helping kids with divorced parents. Because keeping those particular parents from getting divorced is doing those poor kids no favors.
