What The State Does To Marriage

From Cuba, we see even more reason to keep marriage out of the hands of the government:

It’s not just a postmodern or irreverent trend, but a loss of the sense of the sanctity of marriage. Among the reasons for this fading sense is the absence of a family patrimony to be preserved with the signing of a contract. What difference would it make to a child to have legally married parents if they lack any assets for him to inherit, or any property that needs the oversight of laws.

Absence of a family patrimony.
This happens in America too.
