Today, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America - the nation's largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization - expressed its opposition to the decision of the California State Supreme Court to overturn two laws defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The UOJCA had joined with other traditional groups in filing a legal brief in this case.
Nathan J. Diament, director of public policy for the UOJCA stated:
The Jewish tradition has always recognized the sanctity and special nature of the institution of marriage, and that only the relationship between a man and a woman can be considered marriage. Moreover, Judaism teaches that the institution of marriage is central to the formation of a healthy society and the raising of children.
We call on the California Supreme Court to issue a stay on the implementation of the ruling, until the voters of California can decide the issue for themselves in a referendum this coming November
I am disturbed by this ruling. families are formed to give CHILDREN a good foundation in which to grow up in. You do not get children from two women or two men shacking up.
That is why society set up marriages to form families who have children. It helps society continue. No children, no future. Last of the great parts of society is being torn down by us.

I am so sorry for the children of this generation. May God punish the servants of Satan.
there is no solidity any more.
everything is so temporary.
Especially if you give in to it.
I received letters requesting proof I have been married to my husband for 25 years to continue my health insurance at his company? He has been employed there 11 years so far. Why are they waiting this long, and are they assuming marriage and domestic partnerships are all the same thing?
You cannot make chidren with domestic partnerships. Two women cannot make children without the help of a male. This is wrong and belittles marriage to elevate domestic partnerships.
