Marriage poll

174. So you just don't want to have to get "permission", not have gvt out of legal affairs.

Any signed contract, any will, all end up following the laws of the land ie by the government. It seems you don't want gvt out of it, since you want legal (gvt) contracts, but to not have to get "permission".

"Legally binding" MEANS the gvt is involved since laws are written, passed, enforced by the gvt. Legal. Law. How can there be a law, legally binding anything, without there being gvt involvement somewhere? If IBM signs a contract, and that contract is legal, legally binding, it is so because of the law, which is congress, judges, executive branch all working together. And they are ALL gvt.

"The existing marriage contract has prewritten terms and qualifications for the prospective parties involved." So does that contract between IBM and Intel. There are other limiting terms and qualifications, basic ones per the law (gvt law).

Do you think there is any sort of law that does not involve the gvt? What? How? Who wrote the law? Who passed the law? Who signed it into law? Who rules on it? All 3 branches of GOVERNMENT.

Edited to add, I do agree that the current marriage statutes in most states are far too restrictive. See my sig line for more.
