in thread When is it time to stop posting to CPAN?

You'd be surprised about the annoying and far reaching consequences of granting power over marriage to religious "authorities", like prohibiting inter-faith marriages.

But honestly, I don't wanna discuss it now, my emphasis was on debate culture.

Sorry.

For completeness: Ikegami said "wedding" not "marriage", there is a difference. My fault!

    The idea is that "marriage" should be strictly a religious matter and not recognized by the state at all — you would fill out the paperwork for a civil union and check the box "conditional upon completion of religious marriage ceremony" before you go to the church if you want what "marriage" means today. The state does not care whether your church allows inter-faith marriages or if your church even has marriage at all &mdash it is the same civil union in any case.

    Apologies for furthering the off-topic diversion, but I did need to clarify that.

      Swap the terminology.

      Marriage is the legal construct certified by the state.

      Religions just give (or deny) their "blessing".

      That's how it's handled in most countries with a "civil marriage"
