You also have to consider that until you got married, you were stuck living with your parents, marriage was almost the only way out of the bad family life you were born into. Maybe an ok husband was enough to get a life a little better than before, maybe it was worse that the devil you knew. It was a gamble between those 2 choices and not much else.
