What is a paper marriage and Cambodian arranged marriages?
Q. A friend of mine is in an arranged marriage and he says its a paper marriage. My friends and I can only think it's just getting the papers saying you're married no ceremony. He says a paper marriage is a fake marriage so she can get citizenship. I read online even if they get married she still has to go through everything to get citizenship here in the US. She is from Cambodia. He also doesn't want to get married but says it's to late in the engagement and Cambodians don't like it when you break them so he has to marry then divorce. Is any of this true?

How does the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 not violate the constitution?
Q. In the defense of marriage act, it says: No state (or other political subdivision within the United States) needs to treat a relationship between persons of the same sex as a marriage, even if the relationship is considered a marriage in another state. But the constitution says that legal agreements or arrangements made in other states must be recognized in other states. So how is this legal?
Asked by Cass - Thu Jul 16 18:27:54 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because the federal government also controls commerce between the states (which is in the Constitution or implied at least) through an early Supreme Court case called Gibbons V. Ogden and can make laws that regulate said commerce between the states. Notice you said it yourself the law says nothing about marriage within a state by residents of that state so the commerce clause does not apply

How could gay marriage possibly affect your own marriage in the eyes of God?
Q. Why would gay marriage be a threat to straight Christians? If a bunch of Satanists wanted to have a Christian church service some Sunday, it wouldn't mean a thing to you, and it certainly can't derail God. How is this bit of politics even important to you and your precious afterlife?
Asked by chemical_alternative - Mon Aug 9 16:03:40 2010 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It can't affect my marriage. Gay marriage is a political issue brought up by homosexuals, in their mistaken belief that if something is legal then it is right. They seek validity not marriage. Btw, the US Constitution doesn't give anyone the "right" to marriage. The government should get out of the marriage biz altogether.

A. Since after the death of your husband now you cannot apply or get marriage certificate after its registration under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 as a joint application along with individual affidavit of both the spouses is required for the purpose of the registration of the Hindu Marriage under section 8 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 rather even for the purpose of the registration of the marriage even under any other central or local marriage registration Act a similar requirement is there. In your case your husband is no more to apply jointly with you for the registration of this marriage hence you have to use any other document such as a certificate issued by the priest who preformed your marriage or the temple where you got married,… [cont.]

Why do some believe that legalizing gay marriage would lead to marriage to animals and relatives?
Q. After all, gay marriage would take place between two consenting adults, and a dog, cat, or horse would never be able to give its consent. Also, there are laws on the books against marrying relatives, thanks to concerns about inbreeding. Unlike incest, at least gay marriage wouldn't lead to birth defects!

A. It's just the old slippery slope nonsense that never comes to pass. The same things were heard back when people objected to interracial marriage. Can you imagine being so racist that you would say if whites married blacks they would soon want to marry animals? It was said back then, and by my racist great-grandfather by all family accounts. All this b.s. is proven to be nonsense if we look at Massachusetts. Gays have been getting married there for over 5 years. No one wanting to marry their animals, or their brother or sister, and there has been no decline in the number of heterosexuals applying for marriage certificates (so much for ruining the 'sanctity' of marriage). Some people just aren't too bright, and I guess that's enough… [cont.]

What would happen if Marriage was treated like a business transaction?
Q. I would say if a priest, rabbi or iman wanted to marry two women and call it a marriage that was their right. Thus, marriage is not religions it is a product bought and sold like anything else. What do y'all think?
Asked by bar9018 - Sat Nov 15 01:38:21 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi Guy, You're correct. In the eyes of the state, marriage is a "contract" like any other transaction. The fact that it is a contract is what enables them to regulate it. Long before some states legalized gay marriages, some churches performed marriages among gays and lesbians. That's fine. Freedom of religion allows them to believe whatever they want to believe. But that belief does not have the force of law unless the state signs off on the legality of the transaction. Your assessment is therefore spot-on. Whatever romantics may say, in the eyes of the law, marriage is a contract like any other business transcation. Cheers, mate.

A. In the Colonial period, women's work was vital to the survival of the colonies. Their role in cloth production was particularly important, as cloth was in very short supply in the early colonies, spinning and weaving were vital female skills. They raised poultry, milked cows, made their own butter and cheese, brewed the ale that people drank instead of water, grew vegetables, preserved food for winter, tended the sick, and in the southern colonies in the early decades they often laboured in the fields beside the men. During the later colonial period their economic importance declined somewhat, as more ready-made good became available, and their role as producers was no longer seen as vital. But many women still performed important roles… [cont.]

How can our society get the foundation of families and marriage back strong?
Q. Statistically speaking marriage is way better than being single. People who are married live longer, have many tax and health benefits. Also marriage is protected by law, being single and living together is not.

A. My oldest daughter is from my first marriage. I am now remarried, and my second husband refers to her as his daughter also, because he FEELS like a father to her, even though he is only her "step-father". He never "adopted" her, as her biological dad is still around frequently - he even takes her to school every day. But that doesn't change the love my husband has for her too. We have 2 additional children of our own, and he treats them all the same. I would recommend saying he is "survived by his wife, and 10 children". I'm sure they would all appreciate being acknowledged as his children, as I'm sure they all loved him as a father - just as he loved them like his own children. I am sorry for your loss.
