The actress, who has dated Peruvian filmmaker George Augusto for nearly ten years, said that she just sees the ceremony as an outdated "tradition".
She told Hollywood Life: "I just don't think marriage is necessary, as necessary as society makes it.
"And I don't have a negative point of view on it. I just think it's a very old tradition and if you look back to what marriage symbolises in the first place... it has nothing to do with why we get married today."
The 37-year-old has spoken of her thoughts on marriage previously.
She said: "I don't know if I want children, but the idea of marriage sounds very boring to me. I have to be honest."
Mendes also admitted that part of the reason she does not want to marry is because she likes to rebel.
