Symbolic law definition

Symbolic law means law that its sponsors enact for the sake of enacting the law. (For example, a law defining ‘marriage’ as a ‘marriage between one man and one woman.’ [Cite to DOMA in US.] That law in its terms contains no commands, prohibitions or permissions. It has no identifiable addressee. It therefore requires no changed behaviors. It sponsors demanded that law not primarily as an instrument to change behaviors, but to demonstrate to the world (and especially to their constituents) that the sponsors believed in monogamous, heterosexual marriage. That constitutes symbolic legislation. This Chapter does not further consider symbolic law.
