Well if their religious book/teachings is so full of holes, ambiguities and contradictions then it clearly isn't "the one" and it can be safely ignored.

It is sad that the court resorted to mechanical legalism, when there was an opportunity to correct historic discrimination.

I can't help a stray odd thought:

Quote:

His lawyers argued that if Mr Walker were to dissolve his same-sex marriage and instead marry a woman, she would be entitled to about £41,000 a year, after his death.

What if his husband had a sex change? Would they have to divorce and remarry to make the legal change effective?

Married at First Sight couple have marriage annulled after 8 months

Quote:

Split: Kate and Jason go their separate ways after three weeks

The couple who got married the very first time they laid eyes on each other for Channel 4 experiment 'Married at First Sight' have had their marriage annulled after eight months.

Quote:

Channel 4 described the show as a social experiment. Its panel included a Church of England vicar, a sex therapist, a psychologist and two anthropologists.

In an interview in July, Mr Knowles said: “I knew I wasn’t attracted to Kate from the beginning. She is a good-looking girl but after we married I didn’t find her that attractive,” he said.

“I don’t think we were a good match. I’ve no idea what she thought – we never spoke about it.”

chappy,

I suppose I should post some context, from the LDS position. The following link it to what I believe to be a fair assessment of the policy change from our point of view: Blog post explaining the change.

The LDS church takes family very seriously.
