And as others here have said rightfully, STDs are not about married vs single and happen in both. You can even pick up an STD from a public toilet or even your own if not properly cleaned.
Religion, not just yours, but worldwide, distorts our natural behaviors and creates unrealistic stories about the right path. Reality isn't a fairy tale where Roy Rogers wins the gale and rides off into the sunset. The reason we have answers to the things humans once thought were magic, is because humans dared to investigate and test and reject social norms.
Sex education, knowing how your body works, and teaching society consent is what matters, while teaching the risks, are what reduce STDs and unwanted pregnancies, not old mythology.
I would change "social bonding" to "marital bonding" and would say that the whole purpose of this bond happening in the first place is to help the couple stay together in case there is a child involved. That is literally why sex evolved the way it did.
No, sorry, that is wrong. If you don't want people telling you, you cant get married, then don't assume others cant socially bond without marriage.
Marriage DID NOT exist 200,000 years ago. That is a word humans created as an artificial construct, and back when it became a written word it was a "bonding" between families mostly, not individuals by their own consent. Girls, females, worldwide in antiquity were not seen as equals to men, they were seen as property to be bartered between families.
