1.)Marriage does not. Basing marriage on things like tax credits, legal benefits, privileges, etc does IMO. The essence and institution of marriage exists outside of that. We dont base freedom or self defense or the right to one's own body on such things.
2.)Legal marriage is kind of 'regulating' marriage. We dont regulate the rights to freedom or self-defense or the sovereignty of their own bodies unless they break some law that opens the door to consequences.
3.) Marriage as recognized by the state is regulated by definition. Marriage as an institution or tradition is not. And it's not infringed on in the US.
1.) i dont understand any of that? how does legal marriage do any of that
also you keep mentioning self defense and body sovereignty what does that have to do with legal marriage? those things arent impacted by marriage
2.) its a contract that one gets voluntarily so the subjective view of its regulation is by choice not by force thats why i dont see any logic in claiming it goes against human rights
3.) so basically you are taking your views of marriage and your views of what is tradition, legal and institution and saying they apply to everybody.
The statement " Marriage as an institution or tradition is not. And it's not infringed on in the US" is only an opinion that people may or may not share with you since thier institution or tradition maybe legal marriage.
