| I don't really think it should be relevent. Marriage can and perhaps should be sanctioned by governemnt for the sole purpose of creating the entity of a family for legal purposes. For instance, married couples can file tax returns jointly, have legal custody over children or can inhabit the same dwelling in single family housing.
But as far as defining a married couple as one man and one woman, I see that as an promotion of religious values on a secular government. There is no reason for it. |
