A waging war is on the anvil right now in USA over the right of two indviduals of same sex to enter into a legal wedlock. California’s Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage is under challenge before the courts of law. A trial challenging the same began January 11 and a U.S. district court concurs. The case is now likely to reach the Supreme Court for final adjudication. The outcome of the case is expected to set precedent for years and shape the American society.
I do sincerely think banning same-sex marriage is constitutional inasmuch as the biological and demographical needs of the society demand the union of two individuals of opposite sex. Well the question of two individuals of same sex wanting to live together and raise a family can be settled in their favour without any legal obstruction or humiliation. A register of such marriages of same sex can be kept separately for the purpose of census and other uses. The American settlement in this regard will lead to similar requirements in other countries very soon.
