I don't mind looking for statistical research but if you won't accept really strong statistical correlation as proof of causality I won't waste my time.

I don't think there is any research. How could one begin to sort out the variables? I am relying on logic.

One of the surest paths to poverty for her and her children.

The surest path to poverty is poverty. That is intuitively obvious. I don't care how many studies there are or aren't.

An heiress who has children outside of marriage doesn't risk poverty. You are using marriage as a proxy for financial security. A woman contemplating motherhood needs financial security and a support system. For most women, finances and a support system are enhanced by marriage. But it is the money that keeps her and her kids out of poverty, not the marriage. Money is the key variable. Marriage and other support systems contribute. If you have enough money, you can buy a support system. Marriage, however, can be a negative if the husband doesn't contribute.
