Traditional Marriage is just that, Traditional. These traditions are usually based on ideals from a culture, religion, or even a family. These performances adopted over the course of years are lent authority from the amount of time they have been practiced ("If it was good enough for my grandparents it's good enough for you."). Unfortunately this has no bearing on our more direct Purpose of Marriage which is defined here. Traditions in the ceremonies and marital practices should be respected and allowed as long as they do not breach the marital contract referenced in our Definition of Marriage. Since we are a world of culture, religion, and families, no one can deny the right of another person to follow their legal and lawful desires. Fortunately many countries are adopting these philosophies into their Constitutions, Articles, & Charters. So keep an open mind and do not let your opinions confuse you into thinking they should be law for everyone. Leave that to capable lawmakers and if there are none, god save us all. |
