Because governments regulate the pivotal aspects of society.
Marriage has been a long-standing form of union between people, which is supposed to be the foundation of procreation, which in turn is the foundation of a lasting society.
Whether the regulations are outdated, it's definitely a very valid point of discussion, but the fact that there is regulation is significant.
- saalweachter 7y agoIf you want to take all the romance out of it, you can look at marriage as a well-understood standard contract for forming a legal partnership with oodles of case law and precedent. It's like how nearly everything is a Delaware corporation, or how nearly every lease you sign is one of three or four templates downloaded off the internet with the names and addresses filled in.
