Why is Halal So Hard, and Haram So Easy in Our Times?

Salam everyone. It really feels like we're living in a time where, across the Muslim world, there's this strange double standard that's become almost normal. It's become way too common for people to look down on, or be very hesitant to marry, a brother or sister who has been through a divorce. They get judged and labeled in a way that just isn't fair or Islamic. At the same time, haram relationships have somehow become the easier path. They're common, easy to fall into, and don't carry the same harsh social stigma they should. People move from one to another without much thought, because there are hardly any real-world consequences. Islamically, of course, a person's past sins are private between them and Allah, and they have no obligation to reveal them. But then look at the halal path. Trying to get married? Insha'Allah, and good luck! You're often met with super strict demands from both families, expectations to spend huge amounts of money, massive weddings with hundreds of guests… the list is long. And if, Allah forbid, the marriage doesn't work out? You're not only dealing with the pain of the breakup but also the crushing shame from the community and possible financial ruin. We really need to change this. Our Ummah should be striving to make marriage simple, easy, and affordable. We must stop the negative thinking about our divorced brothers and sisters. By doing that, we can build a healthier community and, insha'Allah, reduce the temptation towards haram. What are your thoughts on this?
