The State's attitude towards marriage and personal relationships are negative. They look down on marriage since that would be like things were like in the past, and instead the State wants everyone to "belong to everyone".
Concepts such as love, marriage, family, and the natural birth of children are considered immoral and unacceptable in Huxley's "Brave New World." The underlying premise for this, (which also affects other social behaviors depicted in the novel,) is that individualism and strong emotions are bad because they both lead to antisocial behavior. One of the pop-phrases in the novel that capsulizes this ideology is that "Everyone belongs to everyone else." In the "Brave New World" the well-being and orderly functioning of society is of supreme importance, and the happiness of the invidual {while still recognized and catered to} is of a much lower significance. Falling in love with somebody in that society would be severely frowned upon because it would demonstrate that you preferred one person above everybody else; and in their view that could potentially lead to various problems, such as crimes of passion if you became jealous, or unhappiness and depression if your affections were not reciprocated by the one you loved; and so you would very likely be reported by another citizen and then sent by the State to a "reconditioning center" where you would be hypnotized and psychologically programmed until you "got your mind right." {Last expression from the movie 'Cool Hand Luke' (1967).}
I also think it is important to note that while Huxley's intentions were to paint this future society as a Dystopia and not a utopia, (meaning that he himself did not necessarily agree with or condone many of the concepts that he wrote about,} Western cultures have been slowly evolving in this very direction, with many intellectuals viewing principles such as these as both rational and worthy ideals.
The attitude toward marriage in the United States is traditionally favorable. Most people are somewhat expected to pair off and marry a member of the opposite sex, then have children.
As of 2014, 62% of the United states supports marriage equality for gay people.
In states that have legalized same-sex marriage, there is no legal difference between the two. In states that have banned same-sex marriage, the difference is that heterosexual couples are permitted their civil rights.
No. The Tea Party supports an amendment to the United States Constitution banning all legal recognition of same-sex relationships.
All US states permit same-sex relationships, but not all recognize them legally.
In most states if there is no license, there is no marriage. Some states allow a common law marriage when people have been living together for many years.
In the United States, the states have always regulated eligibility and validity of marriage. Only once before, in the issue of interracial marriage, did the federal government overrule states rights in this regard.
