I am interested to see a Muslim man attempt to marry multiple women in the country and see if the courts will uphold that. Why should someone be denied the ability to marry more than one person? Similar to this, I am interested in seeing multiple bisexual individuals marry one another. Two men and three women may decide to marry one another, with all them being bisexual. Why shouldn't they have the right to? Why shouldn't people not be allowed to be in group marriage? Oh, child custody rights would be a mess, as would the potential for divorce, but hey, why not allow people the right to do so?
It will be interesting to see how the legal system is going to handle it. Hey, maybe divorce would be abolished, in exchange for group marriage.

You're right, therefore, we should not let any marriages occur. God forbid all those things happen with the introduction of such a practice.
|
I personally would replace the concept of marriage across the board in the legal system with civil unions. Leave marriage as a religious thing and have the legal paperwork as "civil unions".
|
Religion didn't invent marriage, why should it be exclusive to it?
|
Why does a marriage need to be something done by governments? That is what I am talking about. People don't need government to get married to one another,or pick who to couple with. You can say the wedding vow with anyone you want, and choose to live by it. Religion has codified the rituals, and standardize the meaning in it.
To go beyond this is to end up getting into a discussion of whether or not government or religion came first.

Actually I like your solution the best.
Civil union status granted by government. Religious status granted by citizenry, and acknowledged by citizenry. Seperation of state and religion, I like it. Gay people can find the church and people that will acknowledge them as married Christians, muslims, etc, those who disagree can keep their disagreements to themselves.
I think this is the best option.
