      A loop hole that is technically correct is still correct.

      What is the purpose of marriage?

        Two people bound together for life for the purposes of creating a family

          Yeah, you can miss me with the religious bullshit. This is a legal loophole in a legal system.

            If it was for religious reasons, I would have specified it as a “man and a woman”

              Then what is your basis for it only being between two people? You’re defining it just like religion does because that’s where you got the idea even if you don’t realize it.

                Because that’s what marriage is and always has been, anything else is contrary to human nature

                  Marriage is human nature? Legal documents providing specific legal protections in your specific country is human nature?

          Only two? That seems needlessly restrictive. Is it for religious reasons? Church and state should be separated.

            Also, if it’s more than two, that’s not a marriage; that’s a group chat.
