{"product_id":"9780198039174","title":"Just Marriage","description":"From the ground breaking legal decisions on gay marriage to the promotion of marriage for low-income families, the \"sacred institution\" of marriage has turned into a public battleground. Who should be allowed to marry and is marriage a public or private act? Should marriage be abandoned completely? Or should marriage be redefined as a civil institution that promotes sexual and racial equality?  As the fierce national debate over same-sex marriage and civil unions continues, Mary Lyndon Shanley argues that while the state should continue to play a role in regulating personal relations, the law must be fundamentally reformed if marriage is to become a more just institution. Fourteen prominent writers and thinkers respond, including Nancy F. Cott, William N. Eskridge, Jr., Amitai Etzioni, Martha Albertson Fineman, and Cass R. Sunstein.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082085843184,"sku":"9780198039174","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198039174","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
