1. And this is her only experience with marriage, if she isn't jaded or at least questioning of the usefulness of the institution of marriage I'd call horseshit.

2. .....not because of Jaune, who she'd likely not even give a chance to learn about outside of his lack of skill, which if it isn't making Weiss money, and Jaune's family has no money... would mean a shift in the Schnee fortune for the worse,

3. I'd assume Weiss's mom focuses on profit, so anything that threatens that would make her feel threatened or angry.

4. Again, I don't think she would oppose it... but there's no way in hell she'd push it, at least not if we're assuming Jacques is still alive and abusing her.

1) If she was a kid. But she's an adult, 73. So unless she's a complete and utter ignorant moron who has never even watched outside the window ever, she knows that obviously, not everyone is like Jacques, and obviously, just because her marriage is bad it doesn't mean all marriages are bad.

2) No it wouldn't, at all. The Schnee already have money, with the SDC. Even if Jaune didn't provide any extra money, the Schnee won't go broke just for it. Also, you are forgetting two things:

First, Jaune's great-grandfather fought in the war, and Second, Jacques doesn't give a damn about money, he gives a damn about public reputation. The marriage making the Schnee look better would matter more to him than making the Schnee richer than they already are. And Mama Schnee wouldn't really oppose the idea because she doesn't give a damn in any case.

3) And why the hell are you assuming that? She locks herself away from everyone else and just drinks until she's drunk and then drinks again, and has been doing that for years. Why would she care about profits even slightly?

4) That is the believable truth, she wouldn't say No but wouldn't really say Yes unless Jacques says Yes too.
