Extract: ~~~ to protect the traditional definition of marriage is necessary should consider ~~~ marriage, or to deny a state's ability to preserve the traditional ~~~ This Congress, I was anoriginal cosponsor of the Marriage Protection Act, HR 3313, that removeschallenges to the Defense of Marriage Act from federal courts’ jurisdiction.If I were a member of the Texas legislature, I would do all I could to opposeany attempt by rogue judges to impose a new definition of marriage on the peopleof my state.Having studied this issue and consulted with leading legal scholars, includingan attorney who helped defend the Boy Scouts against attempts to force theorganization to allow gay men to serve as scoutmasters, I am convinced that boththe Defense of Marriage Act and the Marriage Protection Act can survive legalchallenges and ensure that no state is forced by a federal court’s or anotherstate’s actions to recognize same sex marriage. ~~ The division of power between the federal government and the states isone of the virtues of the American political system. ~~ I agree with the assessment of former Congressman Bob Barr,who authored the Defense of Marriage Act:“The very fact that the FMA [Federal Marriage Amendment] was introduced saidthat conservatives believed it was okay to amend the Constitution to take powerfrom the states and give it to Washington. ~~ The fact thatthe marriage amendment already failed to gather the necessary two-thirds supportin the Senate means that, even if two-thirds of House members support theamendment, it will not be sent to states for ratification this year. ~~

Extract: The Legal Term * Marriage * Defined & Explained ~~~ free and not slaves, but also that they are clear of all bars to a lawful marriage. ~~~ There is no will when the person is mistaken in the party whom he intended to marry; as, if Peter intending to marry Maria, through error or mistake of person, in fact marries Eliza; but an error in the fortune, as if a man marries a woman whom he believes to be rich, and he finds her to be poor; or in the quality, as if he marries a woman whom he took to be chaste, and whom he finds of an opposite character, this does not invalidate the marriage, because in these cases the error is only of some quality or accident, and not in the person. ~~ To this general rule, however, there are many exceptions, among which the following may be enumerated: The previous marriage of the party to another person who is still living. ~~ In several of the United States, marriages within the limited degrees are made void by statute. ~~ By statutory provision in Pennsylvania, when a person is convicted of adultery with another person, or is divorced from her husband, or his wife, he or she cannot afterwards marry the partner of his or her guilt. ~~
