Additionally, the government needs to institute retroactive term limits so lazy MPs who inherited their seats from their fathers can\u2019t get reelected.<\/big><br \/>  <br \/>  <b><big><big>Step 3: Recognize Civil Marriage<\/big><\/big><\/b><br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/41793-250x173.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  <big>We were all excited two years ago when the first civil marriage was legally recognized in Lebanon.
