Wrong again and I am talking about legal marriage long before the federal laws. The laws were created specifically for the legal benefit of children and women (inheritance, financial support, etc) because marriage was what determined paternity and women had fewer rights. That is why the laws were created back in Antiquity and the middle ages (depending upon the country). “legal Marriage” existed LONG before the founding of the US government and that is why. Try reading a history book that deals with things before 1770.
That has changed legally as you can determine parentage and require support outside of ‘legal marriage’ through DNA and women have more rights. The purpose of ‘legal marriage’ no longer exists because the determinants have changed. Women can now own property and fathers can be determined through science, not an assumption that the ‘husband’ is the father.
And you are funny, you say I am wrong yet claim you have no idea what I was saying. You are blinded by this.
Too bad the post that you had responded to so inaccurately, had specific dates and was about our nation, and our laws.
Marriage law is about a heck of a lot more than DNA, and it always has been.
But again, more distractions, I guess this last few months of the gay agenda advancement just over whelmed most of the people here, so they just moved into a fantasy of escapism, rather than seeking political strategies.
