"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
- Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President

Pretending the Bible isn't a factor here.
*Steps out of reality*
How does society profit from $#@! children?
There is a mountain of data saying that children raised in a married relationship fair better than their broken home counterparts.
Say what you will about the Bible or the translations of it. Not sleeping around seems to be its own benefit. Even better when you're actually married.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Ephesians 6:12
Yes, that supports a cultural reason for society to encourage sex only in wedlock.
Why not eat pork? In ~2000 BC only God knew about trichinosis. "Don't eat that pork fool"
Trichinosis is a parasitic disease caused by roundworms of the Trichinella type.[1] During the initial infection, invasion of the intestines can result in diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.[1] Migration of larvae to muscle, which occurs about a week after being infected, can cause swelling of the face, inflammation of the whites of the eyes, fever, muscle pains, and a rash.[1] Minor infection may be without symptoms.[1]Complications may include inflammation of heart muscle, central nervous system involvement, and inflammation of the lungs.[1]
Trichinosis is mainly spread when undercooked meat containing Trichinellacysts is eaten.[1] Most often this is pork but can also occur from bear and dog meat.[7] Several subtypes of Trichinella can cause disease with T. spiralis being the most common.[1] After being eaten the larvae are released from their cysts in the stomach.[1] They then invade the wall of the small intestine, where they develop into adult worms.[1] After one week, the females release new larvae that migrate to voluntarily controlled muscles where they form cysts.[1] The diagnosis is usually based on symptoms and confirmed by finding specific antibodies in the blood or larvae on tissue biopsy.[1]

So, as far as God - the eternal, all-powerful and omnipresent creator of the Universe - is concerned, a couple who have cohabited for fifty years, loving and respecting one another and rearing intelligent, caring children without benefit of a piece of paper from the government are sinners...but a couple of people who say "I do" in front of an Elvis impersonator in Vegas are on the right track? I have to believe this is one of those cases of Man attributing his own concerns and prejudices to the God he has constructed for himself and others. Love, care and commitment, both with regard to one's partner and to any children a couple may share, should be the measure of righteousness - not how closely one conforms to the societal expectations of the day and fills out the "right" paperwork.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
~Alain de Benoist
There is no translation that allows for unmarried couple to have sex. Modern morality believes what it wants to believe.
Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
Pick your enemies carefully.
When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
