If a man can marry a man

[MayorQuimby]

Then someone should be allowed to marry a dead person. Laws always mention persons, but it doesn't say these persons have to be alive.

The current laws forbidding the marriage between a live person and a dead person are discriminatory just like the laws in some jurisdictions that forbid two people of the same sex from marrying. Therefore these laws are discriminatory and need to be struck down. Homosexuals have the right to marriage like heterosexuals. In a similar vein, dead people have the right to marriage just like live people.

Two questions: How are you going to get your dead boyfriend to say "I do", and do you really want to kiss your new bride?

 

[TNHarley]

Dead people cant consent, ya fuckin weirdo.

 

[MayorQuimby]

You want to let two men marry and somehow I am the weirdo?

 

[TNHarley]

You want to let two men marry and somehow I am the weirdo?

yes

 

[MayorQuimby]

and do you really want to kiss your new bride?

Depends on if she has enough rot.

 

[MayorQuimby]

yes

Explain why you think you aren't a weirdo.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Exactly. Like all contracts, marriage requires legally qualified consent. Minors and certain persons are not viewed as being sufficiently capable of providing consent.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

False equivalence is a logical fallacy where someone incorrectly asserts that two things are equivalent simply because they share some characteristics, despite there also being substantial differences between them.

But requiring consent in the context of a marriage involving a dead person is a barrier that can be overcome; just like how you weirdos knocked down enough barriers for gay marriage to be a thing.

I was showing the absurdity of gay marriage by proposing something that is similarly absurd. But I bet saying "false equivalence" makes you feel smart.

Something badly wrong with the OP

The baby boy name Quimby is pronounced KWIHMBiy ---- has its origins in the Scandinavian language.
The name's meaning is 'woman's house'.

You've got some unresolved issues.

If you fail to tell the facetious tone of my OP, you are probably autistic.

Hey I thought you ignored me.

That's the important question.

Marriage is a contract. Contracts require consent of all parties. Not certain how that can be "overcome."

They don't have dishes; they just smear food all over each other's body then lick it off.

We can make an exception. For example, normally contracts need consent, yes, but if one party is a dead person who cannot give consent, then this requirement can and should be waived.

See? Where there is a will, there is a way.
