@Dick is that the same 2,000 year old tradition where marriage was a purchase of woman as property from the father of the woman? Or the 2,000 year old tradition that dictated men could purchase more than one wife as a show of wealth? Or the one that said any divorce was a sin and any sex after divorce was adultery? The tradition where the woman cost about the same as a couple of goats? Or the one where men could divorce a woman at any time for any reason because she was considered chattel? Or maybe it was the rules and traditions set down about procreation and following god's will to multiply, set down by Paul and Jesus, a couple of confirmed bachelors who according to canon had neither wives nor children?
