I can not, in good concious give prefertiential benefits to two people becuase they can create a child. Compared to another couple who can not. But can still adopt and have a similar positive impact on society.

Yes you can, when you realize that society would not exist for long without people who can create children. There should be limits to those benefits but I think it works out for everyone.

y do u h8 me?

Well of course society would cease if people stopped having children. But the point here is people get these benifits regardless of wether they have children or not. I hate to use and oft repreated arguement but by this logic a sterile straight couple should be stripped of the marrige benefits and those whom wish to remain childless should be put on a clock.

So whose idea was it to put a lot of rights into marriage that got none to very little to do with children?

I imagine they got there a lot of different ways. Usually an assembly of people (mostly men) draft laws and regulations regarding such things.

Oh, and no H8. Nothing but manly platonic love.
