| Topic | Is there any form of marriage you oppose? |

Not so much, but it's more about defining rules about sex than it is defining rules about how to treat animals. The bottom line is not to have sex with somebody that doesn't consent, and animals can't consent. Ergo, bestiality is no good, and bestial marriage is similarly no good. Zeus posted... Because apparently between the ages of 17 and 18 a youth is magically endowed with the knowledge of Solomon? >_> That is how age of consent laws work, yes. Obviously, defining a discrete limit is going to result in some grey areas, and this isn't a matter where an arbitrary age threshold is going to magically make the necessary maturity difference, but it's also not something where waiting a couple years will be the end of the world (and you're definitely going to be hard-pressed to say that somebody under 15 is mature enough to consent to marrying an adult). Saying "don't marry minors" does the job quite adequately. Zeus posted... Given that marriage has always been between at least one man and at least one woman, anything that doesn't fit that definition is automatically ruled out. You heard it here folks: If it's not the way it's always been done, it's bad. Guess we'd better stop treating diseases and go back to living in caves. --- This is my signature.
