I have lots of questions in terms of marriage reforms: Were the former marriages before the reform recognized as legal marriages? Or did couples have to get re-married in order for legitimacy? If they did not choose to marry under the government's guidance, how were the children recognized under the state? Did they have less rights than the children whose parents were legally married? And were same sex cohabitation permissible before the legalizing of marriages under the state?
