Splatter, spit, high flame, and Aquila looking like naked sweaty Sontaran.

+1 for the Dr. Who reference.

I wonder if Aquila was singing this song to his naked girlfriend while they were doing their naked breakfast stunt.

Perhaps without a battle, depending on the couple, but it still must go through the court to be legally binding. If one is opposed to courts at all, then they're in a pickle.

I dont think it has to go to court if both agree out of court.

It's like lawyers: everybody detests them... until they need one.

Natural Law:
Natural law (Latin: ius naturale, lex naturalis) is a philosophy asserting that certain rights are inherent by virtue of human nature endowed by nature; traditionally God or a transcendent source, and can be understood universally through human reason. As determined by nature, the law of nature is implied to be universal existing independently of the positive law of a given state, political order, legislature or society at large.

Think about this. The government requires a marriage "license" before it will recognize a marriage. A license is permission to do that which is illegal. No license was needed prior to all this. Where does government get the right to make marriage illegal?

Your marriage is illegal. Everyone's marriage is illegal. That's why you needed a license to get the government to recognize it.

It's an assault on our natural rights.

A license protects people from bigamy, from father's marrying off their fifteen year old daughters so they doesn't have to feed them, from dowry murders, from NAMBLA marrying prepubescent boys as their "natural" right, from psycho-twins power activate so bro and sis can marry each other, from two star-crossed lovers stealing a car and rushing off to Vegas at the tender age of fifteen.

It does nothing harmful at all to anyone. It is the state's means of recognizing the natural law and tendency of the human race, to bind ourselves together, man to woman, and procreate and perpetuate not only the race, but the state, as the citizenry grows. It is fully in the interests of the state to sanction marriage as a natural right, so the state may properly manage its affairs.

Therefore a marriage license is a proper protection put into place by the higher powers which were ordained of God. It is part of the sword the Lord's minister's bear so they may enact revenge and execute God's wrath upon evildoers. To resist this as though it's some great evil or sin to have one is to resist the ordinance of God and receive damnation in so doing.

Roman law was utilized by Paul to protect him and even gain him access to travel with armed protection. Signing a Family Bible without the license is the equivalent to an unrecorded homebirth. Sooner or later you will run into a situation which will end up sending you into the arms of the legal system you tried to avoid.

Aquila was just eating toast in the nude with his live in girlfriend. A matter of face, since no legal binding documents were necessary, what stops these people from having Moses Berg Children of God wedding every other month to a different spouse? Or polygamy, just sign a paper in crayon and marry five more naked waffle makers.

The FLDS Church gain a license with their first wife, and all others are just live in females.

To be legally binding, it must be signed by a commissioner or judge.

Couples can agree on support without the court, but when one or the other fails to abide by their end of the agreement, tough luck, buttercup.
