| Message | "So you would have us recognise forced marriages, incest marriages and marriage of under age children?" -- Nesí Hamdiná Tamir Kirschenbaum |
| Date | 21:01:52, April 15, 2008 CET | From | New Socialist Agenda | To | Debating the Recognition of Foreign Marriages Act |
| Message | "I would have the government recognize NO marriage. Forced and underage marriages, however, would be a violation of natural rights, and thus these things should be prosecuted. But no other marriages of any kind should be forbidden, but nor should they be recognized or sanctioned. We would prefer the elimination of marriage altogether, but that isn't likely to happen anytime in this century or the coming one." -Raamiah Galgenstrick, Chairman of the GJA Foreign Minister of the SJHB |
