Weiss's mom wouldn't want a shit marriage for her because her own marriage is shit, she lost all her power to the point she escapes to drink to cope, she's not about to press marriage as anything but an escape route from Jacques(assuming she's sober enough to consider reasonably giving up a diversion for her own abuse)

In this regard you might be right, but in this context you're completely wrong.

With Mama Schnee, her marriage is shit because her husband didn't even care about her, and is controlling and abusive on top of it.

Even if she didn't want Weiss to get a shitty husband, she wouldn't necesarily oppose a marriage between Jaune and Weiss, because Jaune is, news flash, completely different from Jacques in all, if not almost all ways possible, and much of it in a positive sense.

Jaune actually cares about Weiss, as Weiss, he's not "all I care about is her family name" like Jacques. And Jaune is anything but abusive and controlling.

"I got an abusive husband, I don't want Weiss to get one too". Ok, but Jaune is not Jacques, not at all. So your entire argument there falls flat. If Mama Schnee opposes the idea, it would need to be for another reason. 1. Not at all, the context given was that she would push Weiss into said Marriage. I, like Phantom, agree that at best she wouldn't give a shit, she'd be apathetic at best, jaded at worst.

2. 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.

3. She'd oppose the marriage on the principal of it being a marriage, 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, so unless she's trying to stick it to Jacques, she'd have no reason to push it. Again, I'd presume apathy rather than hostility, but often in these situations the abused gets something akin to stolckholmes syndrome. They find or create a psychological need that the relationship does fulfill, and focus on that when lucid, 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.
