Letter to the editor: Procreative factor in marriage also excludes some women

Notes: "Michael Jarvis had an interesting suggestion ('Changing marriage', Letters, Dec. 2016, p. 4) regarding the form of marriage provide an alternative that does not include any reference to the creation of life, or procreation. He says, 'To equate heterosexual marriage with homosexual marriage is to eliminate procreation as a factor'. Would Jarvis recommend that this form be used not solely for homosexual church members, but also for post-menopausal women ? They, too, are unlikely to be including procreation as a factor in their marriage." [Text of entire article.]
