Queen Victoria to her eldest daughter, the Princess Royal :

"I think people marry far too much;
it is such a lottery, after all,
and to a poor woman
a very doubtful happiness."

Auban,
So the message is that ordinary and poor ladies should not marry. Only royal ladies can. Long live the Queen. Raúl from Paraguay

No, Raúl, the message is that marriage can bring great unforeseen unhappiness to a young woman, usually pressured into it by her parents, her family, her peers, and social custom.

Auban,
This world is insane. Marriage is the gateway to hell. Through marriage, human beings keep this graveyard going. Greetings from Paraguay. Raúl
