The State Supreme Courts should read their law books. Their law books recognise that marriage is the union between a man and a woman.Marriage certificates by the millions attest to that.
Marriage is defined as “….. the institution under which a man and a woman become legally united under a permanent basis…..”( Webster’s Dictionary ).
The State Supreme Court may be guilty of proverbially putting “…..lipstick on a pig…”. Literally speaking, a pig is a pig with or without lipstick.The lipstick doesnot change it’s nature or it’s character. Pinning the label of “marriage” on two people of the same sex makes a mockery of law books , judicial precedent, traditional christian values and traditional moral values that regard marriage as between a man and a women.A man marries a woman. The woman becomes the wife to the man who becomes her husband.
For the courts to try and equate a man and a woman getting married in holy matrimony in the eyes of God to any same sex union under the definition of “…marriage …” is to go against legal certainty and to introduce absurdity in the law.
Right now there is a debate of changing marriage licence forms . What a legal mess ! Errol Smythe
