InformedIgnorance
Do you 'know' or believe?
unless there are tax benefits or something lol - the purpose of marriage is the legal semi-permanent relationship of two or more individuals and the recognition of related legal rights and obligations, including co-ownership of assets, guardianship of dependents and individual rights such as power of attorney - none of those have purpose if there is only one party involved, all of those have purpose if there is more than one individual involved (regardless of the gender of those individuals OR OF WHETHER THEY ARE RELATED BY BLOOD).
if there are other reasons to get married (such as the aforementioned tax benefits) then perhaps a single individual might choose to get married to themselves but is it likely that such benefits would be granted simply be virtue of being married? that seems basis for a claim of discrimination based on marital status.
