Quote:So why are we opposed to adult/child relationships being recognized and the child being granted extra security.-we aren't....those types of arrangements exist and are recognized, but we're talking about marriage specifically at the moment..so I don't know what the relevance would be.
Quote:Actually there are various pushes to have animal recognized as citizens of the state (they generally argue that the animal is equivalent to an infant). I believe the last one was in New York District Court regarding a chimp. The Judge ruled that citizenship constitutes a combination of civic right and duties. Because the chimp cannot be trusted to perform or adhere to its civic duties (such as obeying the law) it is not to be granted civic rights.
-and of course we modify what rights children have for similar reasons...there are some contracts (for example) we won't let them sign, and we won't honor if they do (technically infringing upon a second parties expectation of what their rights provide them). We seem to understand both why -and how- to handle this situation. /shrugs
