Human-animal marriage, i.e., marriage between humans and non-human animals, is not recognized in law by any country at present, although historically people have married animals as part of religious traditions or to bring good luck, often involving elaborate ceremonies. Such marriages as are allowed by tradition, or within a culture, are often symbolic or ritual, rather than the more usual recognition of a relationship.

Historical cases

Horse

  • In some parts of Celtic Ireland, kings (often called "sacred kings") had to wed the local goddess of the land. A druidess was usually chosen to represent the land goddess as the king's wife, but one king in Donegal married a horse, a representative of their local goddess. [1]
  • May 1998 - The Jerry Springer Show had an episode titled "I Married a Horse!". The show was ultimately not aired by many stations on the planned date, apparently due to concerns about the acceptability of broadcasting an episode in which a man admitted to a long term emotional and sexual relationship of this kind. The man and his horse later participated in a British documentary on the subject.

Definition of marriage?
Q. 1. Do you think there should be ANY standards for who is eligible to marry (gay, siblings, parent-offspring, human-animal)? 2. If you answered yes to question 1, who should set those standards, judges or society as a whole(voting)? I know the standard has been set. Some would like to revise it.

A. Look through history, marriage was initially an entire community event, and was first intended as a license to have children...both parties were fit to marry, fit to procreate. Everyone had input, elders, parents, friends, family...and usually the couple was stable, they were both ready or seemingly ready, and both knew certain roles (remember that at that time, that was PC, now it is not) People had a right to object to another's marriage, in the hopes that if they were not good as a couple, they could NOT procreate. homosexuals are not capable of procreating in the natural manner, nor are people/animals, nor are relatives etc... The standards used to be set by society, communities as a whole, based on aforethought, and preparation… [cont.]

Why SHOULD Prop 8 be overturned?
Q. 1) It was passed by the voters TWICE 2) Judicial activism will turn our democratic nation into a nation run by tyrant judges. 3) Marriage is NOT about love. Marriages were historically for going up in social status, financial purposes, and a family. 4) This the people's government, not the judge's government. These judicial activists will nullify your write to vote! 5) What's next? Legalized polygamy, child-adult unions, human-animal unions, human-plant unions, human-fungi unions, and even human-inanimate object unions. Gays already have all of the same rights of marriage, thus they are fighting over a word and not rights. The Feds wont recognize a gay marriage anymore than a gay domestic partnership or civil union due to DOMA.

A. 1) It was passed by the voters TWICE. True. I honestly doubt that the judges will overturn this ruling. Even if they are liberals and wanted to (some not all) it would not sit well with the voters of the state and protest on the apposing side would immediately start. And the process would start all over again. 2) Judicial activism will turn our democratic nation into a nation run by tyrant judges. Interesting thought. 3) Marriage is NOT about love. Marriages were historically for going up in social status, financial purposes, and a family. While some of this is historically accurate it is still a generalization. 4) This the people's government, not the judge's government. These judicial activists will nullify your write to vote!
