Can't people form family without getting married? What about those divorced people that already have family from their previous marriages, yet they still want to get married, should we say they want to get married because they want to form a new family?

Of course you can form a family without getting married. But people still do get married for that purpose because it is a tradition to do so and because marriage offers various types of benefits from a family formation standpoint in many countries. Such benefits include the father not having to go a child welfare officer to acknowledge the child, some countries have family-based taxation for married couples (potentially a huge benefit), widow's pension etc. etc.
