Marriage to a dog? Marriage to a 9 year old -we should recognize them as legal if they were legal in another country?

No way

Yeah, we would have to recognize those marriages. However, both cases would be problematical. We might have to accept the marriage of the 9-year-old even as we punished what would be - under our laws - illegal sex with a minor. And the person married to the dog could be punished for bestiality even if it was a legal marriage in the country of origin. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you are the one who raised the ridiculous example of the person marrying the dog.

Of course we should. We must not be analphobic. If a man has a loving, feces-based relationship, who shall cast the first stone? Who are we to judge?
