Religion is already something that gives people rules, regulations and restrictions to live by; however, divorce is a thing which can determine who you spend the rest of your life with and is so important that everyone should have the choice to make that decision. Many religions allow divorce but even then have loop holes or certain ways of going about getting a divorce. Christianity, in general has a negative outlook on divorce, however Christian denominations vary in their tolerance of it. The Catechism of the Catholic Church strictly forbids divorce, in many cases divorcing your partner and marrying someone else is regarded as committing adultery. This opinion is often held because of the fact that you have consummated your marriage with your partner; hence you must stay with them for the rest of your life.
| | Instructor Explanation: | RULE: In order to file a joint return, the parties must be MARRIED at the end of the year. Exception: If the parties are married but are LEGALLY SEPARATED under the laws of the state in which they reside, they cannot file a joint return (they will file either under the single or head of household filing status). Choice "a" is incorrect. Per the above rule, taxpayers who are married but lived under a legal separation agreement at the end of the year may not file a joint return. They will generally file either under the single or head of household filing status.
If a person is deeply in love with a person of the same sex they shouldn’t have to worry about if the government will let them get married or not and I have many reason as to how the government is violating peoples right’s. Same sex marriage in many religions is considered a sin and that’s the
He discredits the argument that, ”marriage is fundamentally a procreative unit” (Stoddard 738). The government tries to rectify not allowing same sex marriage to be legal because marriage is supposed to be a procreative unit. People should be entitled to love and marry whomever it is that they choose. The government tries to justify their standing on gay marriage by acknowledging the fact that same sex couples would not be able to birth a child together. If this is in fact a valuable reason to prevent someone from marrying, then why doesn’t the government create a law banning all women and men who cannot or will not have children from being able to legally marry.
Such discrimination towards same sex marriage originates from religious beliefs. Many religions believe that our Creator made the man and woman to be together and there is no other way around that. Therefore, these couples are committing a sin that should not be rewarded with the right to wed. The state is also falling in this trap and so, they are not able to analyze the situation clearly. They easily skip over the fact that the rights of these people are being violated.
There is a struggle for equality especially in the Islamic countries where women have no right to be equal citizens to men, where women still live under the direct control of their husband, their father, or their brother, where the Koran is often used by men in power to justify their treatment of women: “Tell the believing woman to lower her gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent and to draw their veils over their bosoms”. Marianne Lyles studied the issue of the woman in the Islamic world which she presented in her article entitled The Struggle for Equality: Islam and Its Effects on Women. She claimed: “In Islamic countries today, women are forced to wear clothes that cover their entire body, including their face. It is hypocritical the way women are treated in the Muslim world because Muhammad supported certain rights for women. He also put an end to female infanticide and slavery.
The women don’t have a choice that they get to marry. When a divorce happens, it is an unspeakable, indescribable, and unresolved issue of belonging on behalf to Hmong people. I find this religion different than most, because for almost all religions, don’t kidnap women to be their wife, and when a divorce comes up, they have to go into jury for their divorce and Hmong’s just don’t speak
Not every state agrees that gay marriage is wrong and illegal, but if the federal government were to pass a amendment outlawing gay marriage then every state who allows gay marriage would have to declare it unconstitutional and against the law. This shows that the federal and state governments have different restrictions. The state government protects the people of the state but the federal government protects everything in this country. Once something is declared unconstitutional, it will over ride any state government policy. Some people have mixed emotions about the way the government works but overall the relationship between state and federal governments protect the everyday
Measures of a New Discrimination Discrimination has been around since the beginning of time. During slavery and genocidal killings, discrimination was of norm for one to act out and show their hatred towards another person because of their race or religion. However, today’s race discrimination is still prevalent; many have mastered the skills in concealing their true beliefs. In the short story “The Pressure to Cover” by Kenji Yoshino, the author describes how discrimination’s has changed over time stating that discrimination “does not aim at groups as a whole” (409). Any nature of discrimination is unlawful and violates our civil rights and our liberty of privacy.
