The New 52 reboot did away with marriage in the DC Comics Universe.

Most of them anyway, all the lead characters aside from Animal Man, who were married previously, were suddenly no longer married. Clark Kent and Lois Lane weren't even dating. And longtime plans for Batwoman to marry her partner were done away with, and the creative team left as a result.
