Perhaps we should approach it from another angle and argue that law should reflect morality. After all, what would be the point of it not reflecting  morality.

We would then be asked which morality our laws should reflect.  

The only kind of morality worth its name would be patriarchal moral values found in the Bible and Koran. This would be what is also known as Natural Law, God's Law or Theocracy.  

Laws falling outside that category are Positive Law.

Societies that uphold patriarchal moral values have more social cohesion that societies that do not. Indeed, it could be said that policies that promote the opposite of adhering to the gold standard of marriage, ie policies that condone and tolerate extramarital sex in all its varieties, actually erode and dissipate social cohesion.
