that isn't what irate is claiming.
also, you need to comb through those cultures you hold in your mind (I don't know which ones you are aware of so I can't address them specifically) and ascertain whether they had formal institutions approximating 'marriage' as irate is claiming--a unique institution between one man and one woman. Then determine whether it's ever had any biblical influence. A daunting task. Please give me some names of the cultures you are thinking of and I'll help you search--so far I haven't found any.
