This page is part of “The Harms of Religions and Spiritual Traditions”.
This is still a DRAFT.
Some religions forbid marrying someone of a different religion, or forbid romantic relationships and marriage between two loving, consenting adults simply because they are of the same sex. And even such absurdities as forbidding marriage between people of different castes, or forbidding a person with a certain family name (“Cohen”) from marrying a divorced woman. These rules override the free choice of consenting adults over their own relationships and lives, in direct conflict with the personal sovereignty that Wellism holds central.
