Should marriage be abolished?

[Greed and Death]

Nah. To each their own.

But remove the tax benefits and lower taxes over all.

[Ethel mermania]

Increase the tax benefits and raise taxes on the unmarried. Think of the children.

[The Alma Mater]

What about the other 2000 or so legal things it does?

[Britannia Maior]

It makes sense, personally, to give married couples those benefits. Though I support it for different reasons and with different circumstances/goals.

Otherwise, yeah, I don’t have any issue with removing those benefits of marriage. Within reason.

This but unironically. Government must defend the sanctity of the family.

That doesn’t sound like a very good way of ‘defending’ the “sanctity of the family”. If nothing else it makes me reckon it’ll only cause resentment or anger at the unfairness of the treatment.

Yeah I want to stop my wife from making me liable for debt or getting half my stuff after the break up too.

[Major-Tom]

Only if you plan on buying one of those stickers that says "My kid is an honor's student." Those people should lose their marriage privileges, but apart from that, no.

You made me chuckle. Thank you. I needed that.

You married the wrong woman. You should get half her stuff, and stick her with your credit card Bill's.

I am disappointed.

[Capybara Islands]

Wouldn’t see why anyone would want to “ban” marriage but I think whether or not we need the state to officiate and recognize marriage would be an interesting discussion

Marriage abolition is also known as the privatization of marriage (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Marriage_privatization). All it means is that there are no official marriage licenses, if you want to consider yourself married go ahead, if you want to have a wedding ceremony go ahead (you have have a wedding and marriage with 3 women and 2 men, you have monogamous marriage, you can have same sex marriages etc...). Ideally I think people just should not get married (what a horrible idea), but it is their choice, however the choice to get married should not convey or deny any special privileges or rights.

Maybe it shouldn't be abolished, but polygamy shouldn't be illegal
Wait, is it illegal?

In the US? Basically. The only person who has legal rights and benefits is the first spouse, every other "wife/husband" is not recognize and there are no legal rights or protections As far as the US is concerned they are basically mistresses/(whatever the term is for a man). That being said, there is nothing illegal about having a long term mistress/? so long as both are consenting adult.

[US-SSR]

No. Marriage is one of God's best ideas.

He don't play the game, he don't make the rules.

Okay as long as there's a mechanism to ensure the other rights and privileges that go with marriage such as inheritance, alimony, child support, visitation rights, etc., etc. One might could require participants in privatized marriages to enter into legal agreements covering all these eventualities. But in that case we might have to change the name from "marriage privatization movement" to "attorney's full employment movement"...

I believe the gender-neutral term is "side ho".

Yes.

US tax law and family/divorce court isn't build to deal with it, and because of the puritan nature of the country having multiple consenting partners is still considered a massive taboo.

[Socialist States of Ludistan]

What’s the benefits from abolishing marriage?

[Cekoviu]

... and because of the puritan nature of the country having multiple consenting partners is still considered a massive taboo.

as it should be.
