Annotation: 

 

 

 Currency- The information from this source is not very recent. There is some information from 1967, 2000, 2003, and 2004. I would say that this source is not very current for this topic.

 

Reliability- This information included from this source is primarily from a religious perspective (ex. one man one woman to marry). I would say that this information does have some quotations, but nothing related to the topic of research. Some of the information was taken from newspaper, the press, and the websites are not reliable links. 

 

Authority- The creator of this website are the Ontario Consultants on religious . The published sponsors are several persons from various newspapers. The publishers interest in this information is the status of marriage in the U.S. which is common-sense, one man one woman. There are also advertisements on the site.

 

Purpose- There are some facts and some opinions. The information is bias because the information collected relates back to the religious aspects of marriage. No the creator is not trying to sell anything.
