Of course, that only leads to the next issue -- suppose 3 people want to form a "civil union". Or suppose one person wants to form more than one "civil union".My instinct is that government should be out of the marriage game entirely. I recognize that this may have implications for protections of non-working spouses and others, so I'd like to find a better solution. If the "civil union" has the same rights and responsiblities as "marriage" (specfically the sharing of assets and liabilities in divorce) then I'd be more for it. You don't want to create a situation where roommates can form a short-term "civil union" in order to take advantage of the tax laws or to get free health insurance. |
