ARTICLE: Marriage in Australia
There is a strange and increasingly heated
debate over marriage in this
country. Some have branded as anachronistic, at best, the determination of
the Federal Parliament thus far to uphold the Marriage Act amendment (2004). The
problem with this legislation, according to the activists, is its use of the common law definition of marriage: “A union between a man and a
woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life”.
Those in favour of changing our legal definition of marriage commonly defend their cause by reminding
conservatives that we have now entered the 21st century, and that Australian
law does not reflect contemporary Western "values" regarding equality.
Such words mask the danger
inherent in any change:
the
imposition of foreign and perverted concepts of
"marriage" on mainstream Australia. If ever achieved, the symbolic
change desired would assist in further corrupting
our society,
one which is already
increasingly ignorant of the
values of our founding fathers . . .
