The proposed bill would enshrine in law the end of so-called "conjugal rights" – the notion that marriage means a duty to have sex.

    Marriage is an institution of a society to control sex.

    Sex is the basis of marriage.

    I feel that marriage should be abolished as a concept.

    Instead, supercede that legal status with one that allows for broader acknowledgement of kinship. Agree before a judge that you are family, with all of the rights that entails, and it is so.

    Allow non-sexual, non-romantic filial adoption to have the same recognition of kinship that marriage has now.

      This is brilliant. I have a bunch of chosen family that I would prefer have legal recognition/priority over some genetic ties and your idea would save a lot of headache.
