Abstract
The marriage traditionally recognised at law is hardly the liberating concept that forms the foundation for the global movement for marriage equality. As an institution, it has traditionally represented a site of inequality for women and the social norms associated with that inequality continue to resonate. Yet despite these foundations, the institution continues at law even as the legal consequences of marriage have changed significantly, promoting objectives of equality. Now there remain only traces of the legal status traditionally afforded by marriage - official forms for example, continue to ask for marital status.
