If the best argument against same sex marriage is, "We'd have to allow children to marry as well" I think we're well past the winning post.
As for my previous comment about marriage in no way being a promise of any sexual consent at any point, I believe this still stands? That weird law that was mentioned may only apply to marriage for some reason but it doesn't seem to impact my question at all. I'm not suggesting that most people intend to constantly refuse sexual activity or anything like that. I'm just saying that I don't see how you can possibly police a system where you've given "general consent" to sexual activity. I'd say no one should ever be defaulted to giving permission, marriage or no. And really, why should marriage have anything specifically to do with sex? If you want to have sex, go have sex, whether you're married or not. You're still the same couple after you get married as before.
Clearly marriage isn't required in order to give consent to sex.
