That would be a huge step in the right direction. Not a ban on marriage per se, but a complete eradication of any government involvement in the institution of marriage.
There are very few things more indicative of a totalitarian state than the simple concept of a marriage license. Who the hell is a government to order people to get a "license" to be married? That's the equivalent of a government demanding a license to be out in public while you are black.
Well said. Well said indeed.
In addition to procreation, marriage is a way of establishing legal procedures for systematizing property ownership.
Property is at the root of marriage.
The license by the state is proof of the marriage. The license is therefore the basis for the complex issues of how property in all it’s various forms is treated in the legal system.
