Is Schopenhauer right when he says this about monogamous marriages?

"In our part of the world where monogamy is the rule, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties."

Even though he was talking about his country, I wonder if his comment could apply to monogamous unions in general.

Marriage is a quaint little custom for immature societies.
