(1) Marriages in the following cases are prohibited:* (a) When either party thereto has a wife or husband living at the time of such marriage;
* (b) When the husband and wife are nearer of kin to each other than second cousins, whether of the whole or half blood computing by the rules of the civil law; or
* (c) When the parties are persons other than a male and a female;
* (d) When the parties are unable to have children together for any reason; or
* (e) When the parties were previously married in this state but had their marriage annulled because of failure to have filed a certificate of marital procreation as required by section 5 of this act.
I know that this is directed to prevent any kind of gay marriage, but throwing in that "for any reason" puts marriages of heterosexual people in peril.
So people with known infertile couples' marriages would be annulled? How about marriages of people who got vasectomies? No senior citizens can marry?
Isn't it fun to see how social conservatives actually put marriage in peril in their obsession to defend it?
OLYMPIA, Wash. - An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled.Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment.
"For many years, social conservatives have claimed that marriage exists solely for the purpose of procreation ... The time has come for these conservatives to be dosed with their own medicine," said WA-DOMA organizer Gregory Gadow in a printed statement. "If same-sex couples should be barred from marriage because they can not have children together, it follows that all couples who cannot or will not have children together should equally be barred from marriage."
