Your views on MARRIAGE

[Dystopia]

Sorry haven't read all the posts, but just to throw in my two cents, I don't care much as long as the involved consenting adults are willing and capable of handling the outcome by themselves.

Many small tribes around the world already form polyamorous relations, sometimes with periodic partner swiping rituals just to keep things fresh, and they do make it work, maybe because they don't have as many complicated rules and laws to deal with. Marriage as we understand is just a contract detailing the responsibilities of the involved parties, and we already have laws for contracts between multiple parties so it shouldn't be too hard to extend those to the marriage contracts, right?

Most laws regarding multiple parties are about other contracts like regular obligations, debts and so on - Marriage, kinda like employment, is an institution that has a specific contract with specific/different rules, so it's a bad analogy. Marriage and family law are not contract law, and both work differently - In the latter there's more freedom to privately decide what you want, while in marriage there are a priori rules you can't refuse like the commitment it requires to the other person.

I can see where the tribes argument comes from, but honestly if I based my sociery on what tribes do in some remote location I could justify horrible things like cannibalism as well. I'm not concerned about what other cultures do but what about my culture tells me.
