Those who equate sex with marriage don't live in 2013
A recent court ruling suggests that pre-marital sex between a man and a woman makes them husband and wife. Isn't this thinking out of date? Consider these points and decide:
1. As long as sex is between adults, and with consent, it should be considered legal, no matter the marital status.
2. Lifestyle changes have led to an increase in pre-marital sex among couples who may have no intention to marry.
3. Any thinking that equates marriage with sex reduces the institution of marriage to a licence for sex.
4. Are we bracketing pre-marital sex with sexual harassment and rape, which are outright crimes?
So, what do you think?
