Stefan M asked:
Why is government involved in family law. My real question is, why is government involved in deciding the legal status of marriage? Why does government have to decide of gay marriage should be legal? A persons relationship does not affect society and should therefore not concern the government. Also, why do marriet people get tax breaks while unmarried persons do not? If all people are equal before the law, how can they discriminate against unmarried persons?
