    No one is discriminating.

    Here is the definition of Wife, in the dictionary.
    1. A married woman; a man's partner in marriage


    There is no 2.

    Then we have husband as in the dictionary.

    1. A married man; a woman's partner in marriage.

    There is no 2.

    We do see a verb though,

    1. Use cautiously and frugally
    "husband your energy for the ascent to the summit"

    There is no 2.

    Really, you don't see a difference? People can choose to dress or not dress according to the code, they can choose to carry or not carry weapons, but they cannot choose whether to be black, female, gay, etc.

    Since I disagree with the analogy, it's probably not worth continuing.

    That would be great, if that was true. Unfortunately there are a whole lot of laws and tax rules that involve marriage. Get rid of all of those, and you can define marriage however you want.

    Merriam Webster Wife

    1 a dial : woman
    b : a woman acting in a specified capacity —used in combination <fishwife>

    2 : a female partner in a marriage


    Same dictionary Definition of Wed (listed as a synonym of Married)

    1 : to take for wife or husband by a formal ceremony : marry

    Synonym
    man and wife

    Somebody cleaned up the "Married" definition.
    The lack of definition there could be the joining of a turkey and duck.

    A farm is not a mosque (or a church).

    In this case, it's a religious family's home.

    Private property. Does not belong to your politburo.

    See what happens when you have government fucking around in stuff that should be free of government? US tax law began less than 100 years ago and as you point out, they have really fucked it up

    They've made it a business. So they have to obey the same rules as other businesses. It's not that complicated.

    Yes, although laws about marriage predate the US tax laws.
    But I agree, government should get out of the marriage business altogether.
