Should heterosexual marriages that do NOT produce children be declared VOID by law?

What you wrote is wrong on so many levels lol

people are human beings. They are NOT breeding cattle. maybe a couple has different ideas of how to contribute to society beyond bringing more flesh into the world. Maybe their path is different.

---V---

but many people think gay people should not marry because they cannot produce offspring. (since they believe one of the reasons for man-woman marriage is to make babies)

dont fall for it spirit it is a way for OP to justify gay marriage.

I knew it

Which law ? the church bullshit law or the civilan garbage that passes as law ?
We need interference of the state in private citizen's affairs like a whole in the head . The moment such a thing will happen civil war will explode .

come on shouldnt we waste another 170 million in california alone so gays can be validated by the government

I've wondered if the people pushing gay marriage might be divorce lawyers.

Just imagine the messy Hollywood-type divorce settlements.

"I want the gold Maserati.. you can have the platinum Rolls... you ostentatious bitch."

!!! $$$$$$$ !!!

Yes.

And marriages that don't wife swap have a lower cost health benefits or income tax exemption.

Understand what something IS, before you decide you have a right to IT.

Maybe this will help....

So you want to be told it's OK to marry someone you love? You want someone else to give you the right to marry??
If you can't have something, you think those that have that thing that you want, should have it taken away from them?
How is it that procreation is the PURPOSE of marriage, and yet procreation takes place regardless of marriage?

No.

Normal heterosexual marriage should be upheld as the only standard means in which to raise children. Unfecund couples should be encouraged to adopt so they can provide stable homes for orphans and other children whose families have failed or deserted them. In that way, naturally childless couples contribute to the continuation of the society.

That does not mean that single-parent households should be ostracized in any way. Stuff happens, leading to a mother or father being the sole parent. Remarriage for the sake of the children is preferred, but should not be entertained lightly.

... hey, lol, I'm still trying to figure out how anyone can even have the noive for to try and make some sorta legal contract out of something called love in the first place????

Ah, you must be catholic. I'm sorry for your forced addiction. But don't attempt to infect others with it.
It won't work any more.

Today's Marriage is a bogus way for the governments to control people thru their sex lives. And to collect money from them thru license.

In fact, marriage has nothing to do with the State. People can freely marry each other just by declaring to each other that they are married. They don't need witnesses. They certainly don't need permission.

Whether the state 'recognizes' the marriage or not is a moot point. Who cares? Two people love each other and stay together. They decide to go their separate ways there is no need for divorce. Simply decide to leave each other and go.

In olden days Scotland (and Ireland I believe) when there was handfasting, if a child was not produced during the year and a day period of the fasting, and the local padre hadn't come through to officiate it, the couple could choose to stay together or to separate without either party worse for wear. But, no one told them the had to separate.

Since people give this as a reason that there shouldn't be gay marriage ... so yes!


What's good for the goose!

the legal contract mostly protects heirs and the line of inheritance, it helps to protect children brought into the union whether by birth or adoption. As long as one takes care of that contractually, then there's no discussion, eh?

Back in 1975 when my now-ex & I were looking for a church to get married in-the 1st one said "no-way" since I'd had a hysterectomy(cancer) at age 20. "no kids-no marriage.

Oh gawd... That is pathetic.
