Yet another problem: proving your sincerity. Currently, if you want to marry a foreigner, you have to convince the authorities that you’re not doing it just to obtain citizenship for the foreigner. According to some I’ve discussed this with, it’s gotten a lot harder to do this.
If marriage is “loosened up” to where same sex, relatives, and groups may marry, there will be a lot more tax footwork going on, and the govt will have to crack down.
Eventually people will get used to the idea that the govt gets to approve — or disapprove — your petition to marry.
Opening up marriage to gays may just lead to restricting marriage for everyone.
Many with open eyes would tell you that this was the point from the start.
I don’t know how two lesbians, or two gays, “prove” they are in a real relationship by having intercourse.
