Legal contracts would be enforced by the State, but in the situation which I describe (Big Daddy Government out of marriage) marriage would not necessarily BE a legal contract. You COULD have one if you felt the need to have your state grant you permission to marry, but marriage is largely a sacrament as is baptism.....I don’t see the state getting involved in baptism.
So, in a court of law, can the state now compel you to testify against your spouse?
So, when a husband just wants to abandon his non-working "wife" and family, he is perfectly free to legally to do so with no obligations?
