Marriage is an institution of a society to control sex.
Sex is the basis of marriage.
I feel that marriage should be abolished as a concept.
Instead, supercede that legal status with one that allows for broader acknowledgement of kinship. Agree before a judge that you are family, with all of the rights that entails, and it is so.
Allow non-sexual, non-romantic filial adoption to have the same recognition of kinship that marriage has now.
This is brilliant. I have a bunch of chosen family that I would prefer have legal recognition/priority over some genetic ties and your idea would save a lot of headache.
