Back then there was no paternity or DNA testing and women had no real legal rights, so state sanctioned marriage was for the benefit of women and children. That is no longer needed legally - like it or not.

Whatever you are trying to say, you are sure wrong about it.
The early federal laws dealing with marriage had absolutely nothing to do with paternity, zero.
