Do the abrahamic God dislike sex outside of marriage?

I believe there are two problems with that:

1. One does not always know that the person he/she has sex with will agree to marry
I was speaking of how the Bible sees marriage, not if people follow through with it or not.


2. There is a benefit for doing things at the most propitious time. Sex before the marriage ceremony robs the event of its most important significance that is that the two are married.
There is a reason why sex "consummates" a marriage. It completes it. Therefore in the OT, and I think ancient middle eastern culture, not consummating a marriage with sex means that the marriage isn't valid. The becoming of "one flesh" means that two people are married.
