Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[Ace]

OK, even with my limited knowledge I can smell a rat. Children cannot enter into legal contracts. I know this to be the case in England, and I assume since Parkers has said the same it is the case in America.

Even if you give them the "right to enter into the contract" they still cannot do so. Such a contract is invalid.

So you'd have to change the law to allow them to enter into this contract, just to allow for this "consequence". I'm a little confused, is this argument actually being put forward in the courts, or is this a hypothetical? I'm not clear what is opinion and what is a report of current events. If they are resorting to arguments in the court that even I know are bogus they must be getting pretty desperate.

Yes a Minor can.
