It looks like taxes increase and any kind of post-life planning can be done with a few legal filings rather than getting married. Is there any real benefit? It kinda seems like it’s just a way to trap people in relationships, probably traditionally, the woman.

In the US, one big advantage is that you can add your spouse as a dependent under your medical insurance plan you get through your employer. Since we don’t have a public option, this is significantly cheaper compared to them getting their own plan via Obamacare.
It’s possible to add a domestic partner in some states, but they really make it a pain in the ass to do so, if you’re eligible by living in one of those states to begin with.
