Marriage is neither political or religious. It's an institution that was created for the distribution of wealth and to establish the legitimacy of one's heir.
I know some that would disagree with you. That's why I say it could be crossing a line. Making statements like those made so far could open things up to a debate which in turn becomes religious or political. that is what they try to avoid. I'm just trying to keep the mods out. Go for it if you want to.
