In the courts? Try the state legislatures. You know, the place where the people's representatives are supposed to make state laws? It isn't supposed to happen in the courts. That's the problem. Your idea would give the state courts even more power to legislate.

Ok, I'll conceed that I mis-stated the State position a bit. The point that I was trying to make is that Marrage has always been a state issue, governed by state laws. Marrages have been declared void, for example, when one state allows 14 year olds to marry and children from one state go to that state and get married, then return home.
