Contract law?
by spiker
For the lawyers in the house - what contracts (besides marriage) does government regulate in which it discriminates in favor of some over others? Are these contract types morally wrong? Should ALL contract discrimination be abolished?
Answer - none
by degsme

There are no contracts that can be discriminatory unless there is a specific and clear purpose. For example, Hooters can discriminate against male waiters because their core business model is based around female waitstaff showing off their breasts through tight fitting t-shirts.

The problem with marriage is that there is no such compelling interest that can be demonstrated that justifies gender discrimination
