I'm pretty sure that animal loving violates some sort of consent law since the animal can't technically consent to it...
Animals don't consent to be Eaten, Vehicles, Slaves, or Pets.

Please demonstrate the boundary where a person is unarguably old enough to consent to marriage. Different states have different boundaries. Who defines what is age discrimination and what is "morally correct"?

Why do you assume only heterosexual people are into inscest?
What if the couple is sterile?
We can't pick and choose when they can give consent about their future and when they can't.

To be honest, I think marriage is ultimately going to go the way of the dinosaur. Contractual obligations to stay in a relationship make people hate each other more than ever. Many millennials are actually opting OUT of getting married because they don't want to go through the headache.

I honestly think this kind of cheapens what was just accomplished.
But, this is just the beginning.
"Just the beginning" of what?
More personal freedom? The right to determine our own destiny? People being able to make their own decisions without state or religious interference?
I have a feeling that's not what your are referring to. Tell us....

If you consider how realistic VR and AI technology will be, we may find happiness with non-human/computer companions.
Child do not have the emotional maturity to consent to a long term decision like that. It has been proven in scientific study after scientific study. I'm not going to accept a bandwagon appeal to overturn scientific evidence.

I never said government mandated. It is the choice of the parents. More specifically the mother. The government should not be involved in anyway.
Then you create the victim of the child being born with birth defects. This wouldn't be so bad for unpreventable birth defects. But incestuous birth has been PROVEN to cause birth defects. At this point, the parents are being willfully negligent.

Heterosexual non-incest couples also result in birth defects, and not all incest couplings result in birth defects. Older women and men also increases the chance of birth defects. Shall we put an age cap to prevent the "risk" there too?

Hell yeah go for it. Who are we to dictate that a person should only love one person. None of our business and they should be allowed to marry as many people as they see fit marry.
After we get that passed we need to work on incestuous rights. There can be no love purer than the love of a mother or father for their children. All barriers need to be removed love needs to be allowed to flourish.
After we liberate the above groups, the next oppressed group are the animal lovers among our species. Who are we to dictate that love can be confined to one species. If a man wants to marry his horse and have a sexual relationship with it, who are we to decide?? Love has no bounds, embrace love in ALL forms.

BUT, when it comes to polygamy, the other spouse must know about it and give some sort of consent prior to one of the parties adding another spouse.
