And did your idea provoke any useful responses?

This all seems very funny but actually represents "the law of unintended consequences". Redefining marriage has huge implications in laws, finances, taxes, etc. Big business ahead for enterprising accountants and lawyers!

Not many responses. Once marriage is defined as merely a contract between consenting adults, I can't see any other barriers standing.

Interestingly, in Florida, marriage automatically confers adult status, so I suppose a stepfather could marry an infant stepdaughter. Or son.

No need for divorce.
