Tell me fool, how could widows of Revolutionary soldiers receive marriage benefits if the Feds had no hand in marriage in the first place?

And on top of that, they didn't sanction or regulate those marriages. It was a religious institution. Still can't find that authority to sanction or regulate marriage, can you?
