Marriage is a civil matter that affects all of us, no matter where we live in the united states, as such, what one state does affects all of us even if we do not live in that state. It is time to end the prohibition on same sex and multi participant marriage.
.
It is especially egregious that religious multi-participant marriage increases the burden on welfare simply because they are not permitted to be honest with government about the amount of income in the family for second, third, and more spouses past the first, legal one

Whereas Marriage is a civil Contract that is only sacred if the officiant is a Religious Leader and if the Religion Represented Recognizes the Marriage.
.
Whereas The First and the Fourteenth Amendments prohibit State and Federal Government from infringing upon the free exercise of Religion, as with divorce and remarriage, interracial marriage, and interfaith marriage, religion is neither required to perform nor recognize a marriage by mere legality of marriage.
.
Whereas Marriage is a civil Contract between only the involved parties, the local, state and federal government, and any religion that CHOOSES to recognize it, it is necessary that the involved parties be over the legal age of consent to contracts, and any exceptions to this minimum marriage age on the basis of parental consent be expunged from the all states that have them.
.
Whereas Marriage is between consenting adults, parties that cannot legally consent to contracts may not be compelled to marriage, be they human or otherwise.
.
Whereas, where natural children are possible, it is necessary to avoid genetic defects, therefore consanguinity nearer than the same great grandparent is prohibited, in more common language, no one closer than second cousins may marry. Some consideration should be given as to whither each prospective breeding pair would have to have a separate license or if all participants would be a party to the marriage with a listing of all breeding pairs included for consanguinity purposes, that is, a brother and a sister marry into an existing family but are not directly married to each other, then there should be no consanguinity bar
.
Whereas Marriage is a civil contract involving property transfer, care of natural and adopted children of any or all participants in the marriage, there are no requirements as to sex or gender of the participants, and only requiring that there be more than one participant in the marriage with no upper limit. There is no mandatory mix or limit of sexes involved in the marriage.
.
Whereas Bigamy is defined as the attempt to obtain a second marriage license while the first marriage remains active without the full knowledge and consent of government and any current and prospective spouses, Anti-Bigamy statutes are to remain in effect. . Whereas Polygamy, Polyandry, Polygyny, Polyfidelity, Polyamory, and Group Marriage are defined as being is being entered into with the full faith and consent of all participants involved, government, society and any religions that recognize any particular configuration about the number, gender, and sex of the participants in the marriage, none of these may be termed Bigamy.
.
Whereas The only requirement as to fertility for heterosexual monogamous marriage is that any bars to fertility of any or all participants that is known to one prospective participant in the marriage be (on penalty of annulment or grounds for divorce) known to the other participant in the marriage before the marriage is enacted, this requirement that any bars to fertility be made known to any prospective spouses is extended to same sex or multi-participant marriage. (consider surrogacy or extreme medical intervention in same sex marriage)
