thats the history and the state of the law. I don't question your version of history but I do question your version of the state of the law. Can you give me some examples of when the law treats a kid differently based upon whether his parents are legally married or not? I mean significant differences. For example, a child born in wedlock has inheritance rights from his father even if his sperm donor was the mailman whereas the same child would have to affirmatively demonstrate paternity. But either way there is a right of inheritance. Or when a kid is hospitalized and the parents act for the child under the law. No one cares if the parents are married, only that they are his parents. In which cases does a marriage certificate matter?
