I'm not sure what the comment above has to do with the Middle East roadmap, but I'll respond anyway...
If you add restrictions to legal marriage, all you'll achieve is fewer legal marriages.
You won't inhibit many people from living together or having children. In fact, you'll probably cause more children to be born out of wedlock, perhaps reducing the percentage of fathers who feel a real obligation to support their children once their relationship sours.
I agree that it's good to promote the idea that people should have good economic prospects before taking on the awesome responsibility of having children. But, I don't think that laws will accomplish this. You have to change people's minds.
