I have questions. How long do you think we can assume there will be two people in a marriage? Or that a marriage partner must be human? Or animate? Or alive?

If current trends continue... gays get to "marry"; and marriage becomes less desirable because of the way husbands and fathers are treated in divorce... eventually it will be mainly gays that "marry" (whatever it comes to mean then), and everyone else will co-habit. Marriage will lose its meaning and common law marriage will become more commonplace.

Agreed--it does seem that the Mass.SJC in the language of their earlier decision determined that the Mass.State laws
prohibiting bigamy, or incest,or any moral code could not
exist under their interpretation of the Mass.Constitution.
After all in every moral code the standard is set that some
things are acceptable --some things are not-those on the
losing end will always be excluded and second class citizens.What I can't figure out is why so many of the Mass.
legislature are so determined to comply with an invalid madate?
