Good point. I’ll have to check where I got that number.
It was probably hundreds of millions- Aaron Kotler quoted it on Headlines Motzai Shabbos.
Joseph, In my day in Lakewood the reason people didn’t get civilly married was so that each spouse can still be on their parent’s health insurance. Which technically might not be fraud because they weren’t civilly married.
But it gets sort of weird because many of them got pregnant before they were legally married, which last I checked wasn’t something we’re in favor of.
