Why don't they just let whomever wants to get married, get married? I don't see why there's such a big to-do. If two people love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together, as well as get the benifits of being married, it's nobody else's business.

...and a corrolary that follows is that if three or four consenting adults want to 'marry' all the others in the group, they should be free to do so also. If someone wants to marry an uncle and/or a sister, its nobody else's business, they're consenting adults. If they want to marry a doorknob, that's fine too. Pets can't consent so that's out.
