Marriage is man's decision not God's.
It is a social and "spiritual" transaction between man and his church
or a legal transaction between a man, a woman and his government.
It is only a moral and a legal exercise.
But as humans make mistakes,
we also realize that sometimes this exercise turns out to be a mistake.
So if you change your mind about this decision,
be sure to face the consequences including financial, social and legal consequence.
Maybe God assigned you to another person but you insist on marrying this person.
Humans are not sensitive to the idea that God has somebody assigned for us.
But we choose our own partner at our own specifications and at our desired time.
We are not patient enough to wait for God's gift to us(our spouse).
I don't think it ever was a sin.
Unless you already thought of it in the fisrt place.
If you say to yourself that I will marry this georgeous person but divorce her later when shes not that sexy anymore then that is another story.
They key is your intentions and motives.
Anyway God will know your motives.
As I have said, your soul is an etheric cassette tape that records your life and the decisions you made.
When you die, your soul returns to God.
Using your soul, God will push "playback" on your life and will judge you according to whatever your soul recorded or whatever you did in your lifetime.
It also includes the decision you made about marrying.
