Helicopters and minibuses can now get married as well?

Oh I see, it is an omnibus, not a minibus.

Yussie, never mention system and HA in the same sentence.... I just assumed they were talking about some new fangled IT system that they would fsck up...

But a harmonised legal structure for marriages is definitely something that this country needs.

An umbrella marriage is like where more than one man holds the umbrella?

How many husbands does she have?

For every husband there is an other. I actually support the law, it allows more options, and it would make people who value their relationship think twice about their decision. Too many marriages end up in tears, too many relationships are abusive.

I do believe that the law provider greater empowerment, however, it will also touch on Family Law, and being implicated in relationships… well, there are case law. All I can say is now, people should now also think twice about having children, and people should think thrice to date someone with children. Just don't overthink.

Look, there are also many people happily married, but the world is becoming more volatile.
