I think that since these are the types of couples where having the husband give a get if they get divorced (I imagine their divorce rates are higher than the average Israeli rate since the chareidi divorce rate is low – yes I know it’s increasing unfortunately), it is most likely better that any semblance of a Jewish marriage be avoided to keep the woman from becoming an aguna and later mamzeirim.
