Marital Instability

The California Supreme Court appeared ready Thursday to uphold the voters' decision to overrule the court and restore the state's ban on same-sex marriage.

The fight over marriage proves that both sides have lost their way. Marriage has become a dogmatic institution where one gets rewarded through tax breaks and other initiatives for having followed the rules. One of the Seven Commandments given to the people of the earth from the time of Noah and the Flood is to make laws concerning sexuality by which a society can maintain ethical-moral stability, but to include the restriction of marriage goes too far.

The Jewish People who were chosen to perform the 613 Commandments do not require marriage and there is no stigma attached to the child coming out of wedlock. The Cabala is threaded throughout with all sorts of sexual inferences and metaphors speaks nowhere about the necessity of marriage.

In Jewish Law only the man is commanded to marry and have children, the woman is free and only marries for love.
