Oh, for pete's sake! How is society harmed by a man and a woman who are not married living together? Since over half of all marriages end in divorce, anyhow, I fail to see the harm here.

Rights belong to the individual. Two individuals, each with separate rights to live where they want, as long as they can afford to, choose to live in the same house or apartment.

Who cares? Young people do it all the time. They're called roommates. Other people share housing, as well.

It is not the place of the state to decide who shall live with whom. It's that simple.

You evidently failed to read my post: "Anyone who wonders what happens in a society where cohabitation takes the place of marriage need look no further than the nearest ghetto."

Society's moral standards are destroyed and decayed, the trademark of libertarianism.

Since over half of all marriages end in divorce, anyhow, I fail to see the harm here.

I am curious as to why libertines and perverts always repeate this LIE as a fact.

50% of marriages DO NOT end in divorce: www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/divorce.htm

I guess you are not even aware of what the NC states? It doesn't prohibit Cohabitation, rather it prohibits cohabitation for the purposes of fornication.
