Homework 1

Description about what has happened in the video:

A straight couple discovers that their relationship is not as traditional as they thought. 
They went to get their marriage license because they have been together for two years and finally they have decided married, but the government has accepted that “Traditional Marriage" amendment, this law is about that the mayor has sex with every woman on her marriage night but, if the girl is not virgin, she will be stoned to death.
Also in the video the government has asked to the bill of sale from her father because many years ago before you got married you have needed to buy first the girl.

I believe that the government should have no right to tell anyone who they can marry.
No one should be able to tell people who they have a right to fall in love with; love is love no matter who it is between.
