  • For religious people - because Christianity allows only one spouse.
    For non-religious it has a bad reputation due to the way it used to be practiced in the Arab world (and elsewhere) where it’s not symmetrical - a husband is allowed multiple wives but a wife is not allowed multiple husbands.

    Lately there has been a rise in acceptance of polyamory - understanding that people may have multiple partners at the same time, and this should be accepted.

    For all intents and purposes you are married. Depending on where you live your relationship might even have a legal recognition despite not signing any papers.

    Weddings are a waste of time and actually counterproductive to a stable relationship, I agree. Although not directly, it has to do with the system of values that celebrates form over substance.
