In my opion marriage is necessary because when you have a wife and kids and they grow up to be adults while my wife and I are old the kids need to take care of there parents because you never know cancer or something might happen to you and if you have no one to help you to the hospital or anyone the your in trouble. So I think marriage is useful. Side: yes

Even though I don't believe a couple of legally binding documents should keep two people together, it is necessary for families. If there wasn't any kind of marriage, parents with kids could go out and parent a bunch of other children on the side, then leave their children, whenever they want to. Also, legal custody of their children comes to mind, as well. Family instability would become vastly more common, if there was no marriage. I would also believe crime rates would increase, due to the increased amount of parent-less children. Side: yes

Marriage is over rated in my opinion. Is it necessary? Well it depends on what for. If you’re talking about the benefits involved, and there is quite a lot http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/ One should then consider if the benefits are actually necessary. As for whether or not marriage Is necessary for two people to be together, or to declare their love. I would say no, not at all. A commitment can be made regardless of there being a marriage to declare it. Not only that but judging by the amount of divorcees, marriage is pretty insubstantial for enforcing a commitment. I would consider the amount of love between two people a better determining factor as to how committed they are, a marriage is just a piece of paper aside from the legal benefits it brings with it, which shouldn't even exist in my opinion. Side: No
It's not necessary for every single human on Earth. However it is something that is still relevant to society if couples still wish to be married. In terms of legality, there are a lot of protections, rights and benefits from a marriage. In terms society, the marriage is the public declaration and celebration of committing your lives together. That will always be relevant so long as couples are relevant. But again, it's not necessary or required for each human on Earth. Side: No

Not in todays day and age. it is an ancient precept from the days of dowries etc. Also a true marriage is done for religious reasons and with "God's" permission. Today with the high divorce rate, people getting married in vegas and on jerry Springer is marriage really the big deal it used to be. It is symbolic and usually now just a cause for a woman to get her dream wedding! Side: No
