Now by the same token by your belief we should allow judges to legalize Pedophillic Marriages, we should allow judges to legalize Incestrial Marriages, we should allow judges to legalize Bestial Marriages. We should allow judges to legalize pollimic *sp * marriages. All of these are technically people's rights.
- Pedophilia - The U.S. recognizes an adult at the age of 18. Anything under that needs a parent or guardian to sign. This is because it is believed that by the age of 18, a person is mature enough to make rational, well-thought-out decisions by themselves. On top of being sexually immature up until that point (some late bloomers is a given), "Children/Teenagers" are incapable, under law, of understanding the consequences of their decisions or to make rational decisions. That is why there are laws protecting children. Children are immature idiots (kidding!)
- Incestual - Incestuous relationships harbor genetic deficiencies in offspring - inbreeding. Although an incestuous homosexual coupling will not produce offspring, the laws assume heterosexual acts and - as a personal view, I am not quite that open-minded to allow 2 adult siblings to marry.
- Bestial - Animals cannot consent nor understand what "marriage" is about - the mutual caring of and consensual pact between two adults in love.
- Polygamous - Some countries allow Polygamous marriages. Some places and religious sects consent to said marriages. Personally I can't see how there isn't a conflict of interest when everyone is equal. When husband/wife #2 has to submit to husband/wife #1, then there isn't equality. If one of, say, a marriage of three gets injured and sent to the hospital, what happens when the other two argue over life support? This happens between a spouse and the parents of the injured person. Under the law, the spouse has the say because they are closer to their spouse than the parents.
Marriage as a "consensual agreement between two adults" sounds fine for me. (It also has the added benefit of getting rid of "non-consensual marriages". No more shot-gun weddings! lol)
Edit: Went back and read the first post. Guess "Gay Marriage" is banned, but technically this reply is more about the bolded topics than specifically gay marriage
