No it is not backwards.  It is a smart system that keeps things less complicated.

Men and women these days often live with several different partners throughout their lives. Should they be required to the other person's property just because they live together a few years?  Should you have access to someone's benefits like pensions, retirement accounts, health care and social security just because you live together? What if OP lives a few years with five different people over her lifetime, marrying none? Does she automatically deserve a piece of each of those people's wealth, savings and property?

Shared communal marital property and benefits are a big deal and something that is rightfully limited to those who took the time, effort and commitment to enter into a specific contract.
