    You can believe child marriage should not exist while also believing that gold digging is not a significant issue.

    Not when your laws dictate otherwise.🙃
    Otherwise these laws wouldn’t not exist.

    How would the state open litigation if you did not agree to get married?

    By suing you. Do you believe the state itself cannot sue, and is an inactive participant in domineering these laws?

      Not my laws? Nor have I defended all aspects of marriage law in general?

      By suing you. Do you believe the state itself cannot sue, and is an inactive participant in domineering these laws?

      For one, any examples of the state suing a person for not getting married because they did not want to enter a monogamist relationship? Secondly, even if there were examples… I am not defending the actions of the state.

      Just because I’ve claimed that I do not have a problem with two consenting adults agreeing to a monogamist marriage, does not mean I agree with all aspects of marriage law, or that I agree with all actions committed by the state.
