The answer

The problem is the deviation of youth due to the inclination of each gender towards the other, which is a human فطرة (innate disposition). Allah has legislated proper marriage for this purpose, to preserve lineages and honor. The problem can be eliminated by addressing its main causes: exorbitant dowries, insistence on marrying a specific nationality, delaying marriage under the pretext of completing education or not securing a job, ignorance of the religious texts that encourage marriage, illicit relationships, media that promotes illicit relationships, and society's disapproval of polygyny.
