I am sure we may readily recognize that not all human relationship deserve equal recognition. So now that we acknowledge the theory is sound in principle we are just haggling over price. Under are price haggling we would say in term of societal value there is nothing gained by means of treating their marriage equal to one in which offspring may arise as a natural course of the relationship in satisfaction of both societal and teleological ends.

Argument may be made to state infertile and elderly couples should not be granted marriage under the societal argument. However, as already been argued extensively under the legal argument policing of this fact would become difficult and burdensome such that the overinclusivenss of infertile couples in marriage is a acceptable societal sacrifice for the sake of conserving resources overall. Though there are countries which require persons to be in physical health and social standing prior to being married.

Are you saying you would like to go down the moral argument in regards to teleological purpose of biological existence?
