Isn’t it a fact that there really is no definition of marriage anymore???

Work with me here. The Supreme Court, in June 2015, overturned all marriage laws which defined marriage as a man and a woman. But, what is the definition of marriage now??? Everyone assumes that marriage is now just any two people, but is it really?? I mean legally speaking, was the legal definition of marriage changed????

The Supreme Court decision on marriage in 2013 overturned the federal definition of marriage, and instead, mandated that the federal government accept the definition of marriage as defined by the states.

But now the 2015 ruling is that states cannot define marriage any longer as a man and a woman. But the ruling did not mandate that marriage was any two people. The ruling did not define marriage at all.

So legally, is there any actual definition of marriage anymore anyway???

Our society has turned into something where we are not a nation of laws, but a nation of what is not constitutional, therefore, we have a situation everything is legal unless the constitution says it is not, which if course is only defined by 9 people in the Supreme Court.
