[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_of_Europe]There's an anthem.[/URL] Also : <blockquote>"Anyway, getting back to marriages, I still fail to understand how each state has different can have different laws governing what must be one the the most basic and probably one of the oldest human rights. I can understand churches and various religious groups refusing to have the ceremonies at their places of worship, that's their business, but a marriage is essentially a legal contract, so why should the courts even pay attention to their demands is beyond me."</blockquote> It's certainly up to each state to decide to whom they will issue marriage licenses. Over the years, different states have imposed different regulations on things like minimum age without parental consent, degrees of consanguinity, race, etc. But, theoretically, the [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Faith_and_Credit_Clause]full faith and credit clause[/URL] of the constitution should mean that, even if a state wouldn't allow two people to [i]get[/i] married, it still has to recognize their existing marriage if they marry somewhere that [i]does[/i] allow it. Which makes all these states' amendments unconstitutional. It's just a matter now of getting the courts to declare that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
