Does this mean that the government must recognize polygamous unions that are recognized internationally?

I posted that history because in the not too distant past marriage was usually a private contract between a man and a woman and usually God. Society recognized it as a marriage, and the gov’t didn’t have any business in it. I imagine that back then, not so long ago, if 2 men ran around saying they were married, most of society would just have not recognized it as a marriage and a few good laughs would be had. But they wouldn’t be going to court demanding recognition, demanding that gay marriage be taught in school, demanding that businesses do the floral arrangements for their wedding, because the gov’t wasn’t involved in it to begin with. Marriage started out as a religious institution, not a legal one.

Anything goes it seems. They just legalized sodomy.
