Damn, There's An Old Thread That I Started About Civil Marriage Long Time Ago, There Was Lots Of Members Against It.
Where The Hell Are They?

It's time to give my opinion
civil marriage should be legalized as an optional way of marriage in Lebanon.

it's not only about changing the religion.
for example atheists, how can they marry ?? and what's the need for a religious ceremony if they are atheists !?

those who are against civil marriage, can simply marry in a religious ceremony, no one will force them toward a civil marriage, but in the same time there are some people who wants a civil marriage (for any reason), it's also unacceptable not allowing them to do it.
that's why civil marriage must be an option.

but the problem is that men of religion are afraid of losing money and their jobs, that's why they refuse it and try to convince people with their snaky ways.
if civil marriage was approved in a law, men of religion will not be able anymore to provoke people from different sectarians against each other, because with civil marriage people from different religions will be able to marry, the community will become somehow a merged one, no one will be a pure christian or a pure muslim, and that will harm those who use religion to provoke people against each others and push them to kill each others in religious wars.

Lebanon won't become a civilized modern country as long as human rights are abused and sectarianism controlling it.
if Lebanon became a civil state, a secular state, it'll be the first step toward BUILDING A COUNTRY.... we won't need anymore Doha Agreements or Taef Agreements or the interventions of Saudi Arabia, Iran, USA... in our internal affairs because they are using the sectarian regime in Lebanon to create troubles and control our country.

I dont understand. Civil marriage wont ban the right of religious people to have religious ceremonies and do their marriages they way they want to do it.

Maybe it is the part of religion where you want to tell other how to do things as opposed to be content with the way you do them.

If it is allowed, there will be a new religion eza badkon, the ones without regard to religion as much as they are to living their lives, w mesh being controlled by religious men.

So in my opinion, not only are the religious men afraid of it, but also politicians, cause it'll mean their head on a plate.

My personal opinion is, and please keep in mind the fact that "IF you are religious", why get married madane eza u are both from the same religion? Se3eta khallik 3a dinak w Ser l Zawej (in Christianity). But what if u fell in love with someone from another religion? What then? Let's say you're freakin CRAZY about her w she's CRAZY about u, khalas u want her/him but u both want to keep your religions cz hayda shi personal w ma tkhayyarna wein nekhla2 ne7na se2abet fatta7et 3youne b hal 3ayle w b hal religion, so should we both pay the price and not get married? That's when I'm with it, cz no1 should be able to prevent marriage mn wara anything no matter what, it's their lives not peoples'.
