RE: Why do we need a license to get married in the first place?? You go to a minister or a JP...and just do it.
OK, let’s say we got the government out of the marriage business... what about our tax laws?
Our tax laws are so complicated but one of the things it recognizes is MARRIAGE.
If marriages are done by a minister, and not by government, that STILL would require government approval to recognize your “union” as a marriage.
And here’s the other thing -— if you are a Muslim, you can have more than one wife. So, a Muslim marries 4 women in his mosque, what will our tax law recognize?

First,simplify our taxes code. Preaching to the choir.
I will ask a question with a question. Because i am not a tax expert. If taxes were simplified. If they flattened and fairer would there be a need for the tax code to recognise marriage?
Otherwise, if the tax law is not simplified i suspect queer and otherwise freak couples, 3-5 in a marriage?, will adopt as many children as possible for the tax break.
You can not stop them or else it is descrimination,right?
