Allen, Douglas W., An Economic Assessment of Same-Sex Marriage Laws.. Harv. J.L. & Pub. Pol'y 949-980 (2006).
Can marriage be altered to accommodate same-sex couples and also remain a robust institution for heterosexuals? The author answers this question with an emphatic “no.” The author describes marriage as an institution which effectively regulates procreation, and argues that altering marriage for same-sex couples will create loopholes which can be exploited by selfish heterosexual husbands and wives.
