Definition of marriage?
Find answers to your legal question.

1. Do you think there should be ANY standards for who is eligible to marry (gay, siblings, parent-offspring, human-animal)?

2. If you answered yes to question 1, who should set those standards, judges or society as a whole(voting)?

I know the standard has been set. Some would like to revise it.
