Ask HN: Should marriage be a human right?

Locke, Paine, and other enlightenment thinkers believed that human rights belong to individuals. A marriage is a union between two people. It's not something that every individual can participate in because not every individual has someone willing to marry him/her. Some may say that having someone who loves you enough to want to be tied to you is a privilege, not a right. Should marriage really be a rights issue, or should it be a privileges issue? Is this just semantics?
