I don't know about that. Before there was money and education, there was family. And family has been what passed on morals to kids, generation after generation. I don't think a society can function without "family" units.
Orphans should be taken care of, but there is reason why we feel sorry for Orphans, it's because they grow up without parents.

I will try to get the book at the library. This is an interesting conversation....
Norm doesn't necessarily mean best, but when, you go across cultures all over the world, and the societies teach sanctity of marriage and emphasize on doing it in marriage, surely there must be a reason?
Moreover, even if it was not for the best, if it is what we naturally tended to feel due to how things occurred...then can you blame people for feeling it is "bad" to do do?
