Contracts.
Contracts are meaningless without enforcement. Who enforces them? Pistols at 20 paces?
Wills. Trusts.
Again, meaningless without actionable force of LAW. You don't seem to get that.
Powers of Attorney
Power, meaning what? Exclusive ability backed by law, that's what. Laws are organs of the STATE.
None of which require any “license” or acknowledgment of any religious state of matrimony whatsoever.
From the article:
SB143 would maintain a few state requirements governing marriage. Minors between the ages of 16 and 18 would have to obtain parental permission before marrying, the state would not record a marriage if either party was already married and the parties could not be related by blood or adoption as already stipulated in state law. Under SB143, the state would record same-sex marriages.
State requirements governing marriage. That's involvement. Very little changes except the "solemnizing" part.
We are done, dude.
Your being deliberately obtuse.
