There were two main reasons why marriage was important.

Titles and estates were inherited. Illegitimate children usually did not inherit anything. For a nobleman or monarch to pass his title and estate to his son, he had to be married to the son's mother.

Marriage is a sacrament, and sex outside of marriage is regarded as a sin. Even for people who were landless and without title, the Church strongly encouraged marriage and monogamy.
