Marriage laws do not explore the reasons for marriage. They deal simply with the fact that two people want to make their commitment to each other a legal contract.Those are the first court cases regarding marriage. Marriage has existed for thousands of years. Court cases in the United States don't prove a thing about the origins of marriage.
The origins of which, civil or religious? How are the origins relevant to the discussion?
The discussion is about why marriage exists. That goes right to the subject of origins.
except marriage doesn't exist for procreation.
That's the only reason marriage exists.
That's absurd and made up by the voices in your head
Within religious context, the primary purpose of marriage is often to produce offspring and lots of them. The more children, the more the church will grow. Since a gay marriage does not produce children, it has no purpose in the eyes of the church..
