Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same-sex couples have a right to marry nationwide. This historic ruling eliminates the gay marriage bans that have been plaguing some of the conservative states for a while now, and paves the way for a new era of love and acceptance. <\/p>\n

Similarly, Lebanese judges were hard at work to produce a life-changing ruling of their own. The Lebanese kind-of Supreme-ish Court met on Friday to discuss rules of marriage in the small country, only to produce a verdict that would please everyone and that was backed by a majority. <\/p>\n

According to the courts and the new verdict, marriage will now be viewed as a sacred union between a wealthy man and a gorgeous woman… with no exceptions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cGod created Adam and Eve, not Poor and Ugly,\u201d shared one of the chief justices, confusing everyone in the room. \u201cHow else are you supposed to pay for a cool wedding? It doesn\u2019t make any sense; poor people should stick to shoe-making or whatever.\u201d <\/p>\n

The court presented ample evidence supporting this claim, namely of apartment listings in the Lebanese capital. <\/p>\n

With the average apartment costing twelve hundred billion dollars, it was clear that the ruling was an appropriate one, \u201cweddings are expensive, and you need a gorgeous, young bride or you\u2019re wasting your time \u2013 we hope that the public sees that we\u2019re trying to help them,\u201d added another judge. <\/p>\n

\u201cSame-class marriage is the cornerstone of the Lebanese identity, and we are here to protect that.\u201d <\/p>\n
