It's no longer taboo to engage in sex outside of marriage
Oo
I don't know what planet you live on, but I'm fairly sure, side from open marriages where the couple mutually agrees to this, sex outside marriage isn't so much taboo as explicitly ruled out by definition.
And while divorce may not be a "scandal" per se, its certainly not considered desireable.
In short, you seem to have a bizarre view of marriage in the modern world.
