Lawmakers Consider Preventing ALL Marriage In Oklahoma

[Bjorn Against]

59. A license replaces the need for a contract

When you get a license you are basically signing a form that will give you all the rights and responsibilities that come with marriage, it combines a couple's assets in much the way that a contract would. There may be some legal differences between a license and a contract, but in this case a license replaces the need for a contract. Personally I think issuing licenses makes a lot more sense than contracts which can easily be manipulated by lawyers to screw people over.

Of the examples you provided to exceptions to who can get marriage licenses the first one does not apply because I said the law requires it to be between two consenting adults, the first case involves a third adult who is likely not even consenting.

The other two examples dealt with incest, I admit that I did not think about the people who want to marry their sister.

If you want to advocate for changing the laws to allow for brothers and sisters to get married then go for it, but don't act as if everyone who thinks you are wrong is authoritarian.
