    Free healthcare and commissary access already causes marriages. A defined length contract wouldn’t be the worst thing in human history. But I’m not sure it’s up to modern ethical standards.

      If you can’t leave early, yeah it wouldn’t be. If you can I don’t really see what that adds.

      Arguably legal marriages that are hard and expensive to leave are anachronistic themselves.

        Oh gosh I wasn’t thinking of an enlistment. I was thinking about a normal job contract.
