The institution of marriage should be abolished.
It ir proposed to diminish the societal importance of the institution of marriage by means of its total abolition or the dissipation of its legal benefits. We admit of no government or institution the right to dictate the legitimacy of a birth, the division of private wealth between two persons or the allocation of the offspring of any such union.
Certainly.

I totally agree... marriage shouldn't be about the money, the property... As soon as these are involved, it becomes more than about two people... Things are worsened by the families, especially in countries like India.. Demanding materials and dowry from the bride's house... As soon as government no longer has a say in this, conditions might improve... Side: Certainly.
I agree. We can solve so many problems beginning with the gay community. If all human beings were equal to the eyes of the law it won't be a problem with the non heterosexual community . Gays want to be equal , and that's appear the obvious solution. Heteros marriage by the church and gays and every one, should be subject to civil unions without being an obstacle for egalitarian benefits for every one. Side: Certainly.
Outlaw it, definitely not. People should be able to have weddings, exchange vows, and call each other husband and wife if they want to. But it might not be such a bad idea to deprive it of legal status, so that you can't sue for property upon divorce, don't get preferential treatment in inheritance, and so on. Marriage can be replaced with civil unions, which offer much the same legal protection that marriage does, but can be signed between two or more people of any sex, age, or kinship status, and are not based on the assumption that there is a sexual relationship between the people involved in the civil union. Side: Maybe

It depends on the context of what mean 'Abolish the Institution of Marriage'. I believe in gay marriage and that they are having a difficult, uphill battle, but I don't know how abolishing it will solve anything. I'd care to hear more input on what you mean specifically by abolishing it. Side: Never.
A lot that goes about marriage must be dealt with. But, not marriage itself. It is logically a security at a time where you would require help. Like death, old age, legal financial security, insurances etc. A marriage is what yields into a family. A good family is a basic requirement for youth. If that is sided.. Emotional attachment and surety of senses and life is important for one's success and peace in life. Side: Never.
