Yes, it does make your statement false. The history of marriage may be rooted in children, but it is clearly not used only to benefit children today, neither in law or practice. No state requires the intention of children, none bar infertile couples from marrying, and millions of people marry knowing they won't or can't have children. You are wrong both de jure and de facto.
This has nothing to do with my reply to you.
You said...
"You may stick to your ridiculous extremist position, but nobody else is going to go for it. Marriage isn't just for children for many thousands of people. Deal with it." - misterman
The part marked in red is as I said a fabrication, lie, not true.
I responded with this...
"Your rant makes it no less true that many of us do feel exactly that way.
So you can say "nobody else is going to go for it" and I can say it is a fabrication at best." - Blackdog
Now you can continue with your rant that has nothing to do with what I said in that statement. :2wave:
