Why is it an imbalance? Why can't there be rights and privileges exclusive to couples?
Quote:If we simply apply the same tax laws to any homeowner, regardless of marital status then the issue is resolved. They can be the laws as they apply to the individuals right now or we can simply extend the laws that govern married couples to include those who live alone and it becomes fair to everyone.
Marriage law involves more than taxes.
Quote:Also, what gives you the right to deny those rights to those who do not wish to marry? Since you ask that same question of Adrian.
People in a relationship deserve some legal benefits and privileges that single people don't and shouldn't have.
