Don’t forget Lot! If your wife dies and you have no sons, you can just knock up your daughters to keep you family name going!

Considering the mad efforts some heterosexual males put into getting laid, there might be truth to that statement.

Now this argument always fails to make sense to me.  
Marriage has always been a governmental institution. It is a way to regulate property, inheritance, and other economic situations. Why would marriage ever not be a government issue?

Religion did not invent marriage and most of our current marriage laws can be traced to Roman law not Christian or Jewish religious beliefs.

(But, if a Justice of the Peace came at me with a marriage license, I suppose I do support a “stand your ground” law that would permit me to shoot him.)

You’ll be OK with shooting him in Texas.

More “if all the prospective husbands are dead, it’s totes OK to get dad drunk and rape him”, but hey, don’t let me intrude irrelevant facts here.
