absurd to you not to others

marriage law is needed and enforced to stop this.
other wise we will have all sorts of marriages happening

in Massachusetts a man was caught having sex with a animal, in India amongst other places people have married animals.

We have Govt telling us the age of marriage yet you think the same Govt shouldn’t say what is marriage

hey if you think it’s OK and none of anyone’s business about marriage fair enough, but I think it is wrong to have say two men think they are married, to have 15 wives and so on

I think you're missing the point. All of these can already happen, just without government sanction. I'm not arguing for same-sex marriage - I'm arguing against government marriage, period. Once you give the government that power, they are able to define marriage, which most people regard as a religious institution. You may not like the way the define it, which is exactly what just happened in California. This is the inevitable result of trying to adapt a religious institution, which varies across faiths, into a one-size-fits-all government institution.
