Why does liberal Iceland want to ban online pornography?

Unless they are cohabitating, then it is single parent. Furthermore, parents living together without being married shows a lack of commitment to each other. Both parents are still technically "single". The binds are not there.

They usually are. That's my point. I'm surprised you hadn't gotten it.

You could even say that they are married, but it's just not official.
In Switzerland, married couples are penalized when it comes to taxes, so some couples choose not to get married. They are still a couple.

Is this statement based on anecdotal tales or are there stats showing this?

It's based on living in Europe. If you can find me stats showing it isn't I'll listen.

You guys should follow Americans and give tax breaks to married couples.

Right, anecdotal.

Most Icelandic couples are 'officially cohabiting.' You could have looked it up yourself.

Or you could of just given a source earlier...

Iceland has a division between ‘single’ and ‘married’ called ‘confirmed cohabitation’. Once a couple enters into an agreement of confirmed cohabitation, they are able to apply for taxes as a married couple and are afforded protection by law against the other party moving out or shirking obligations. A confirmed cohabitation can be annulled but the cohabitation would supercede any type of rental or mortgage agreement, In short, if you are living together you are obligated to that person financially whether you are married or not. Regardless of what you may think of the practice of cohabitation, there should at least be general agreement that one partner should not be able to simply leave a living agreement without some sort of penalty or ‘no strings attached.’ Confirmed cohabitation is an intermediate larval state between dating and marriage but it does afford protections to both partners.

FFS, this is marriage, just without the "m" word. It even has annulment. Silly Euros.

In French. Stats from 2000, so not very up-to-date but the numbers must be similar (higher I assume now). Only 12% of all children live in monoparental families, it's not that much.

Why? It's not information that matters to me. You could have searched for it before making assumptions.

It's slightly different, but yes. Anyhow assuming 2/3 of Icelandic children lived in monoparental families is not something I'd have expected someone of your intelligence to say.
