1,049 federal rights depend on marital status.

Beep. Circle takes the square. Those are federal privileges, not rights. A right is something that, when exercised, puts no onus or obligation on another person.

That being said, "free association" is a right. Regardless of the religious or moral implications, these folks cohabitation has not engendered an obligation on the part of a third party.
