Government became involved in marriage when questions of faithfulness and inheritance became subject to dispute.

So countless thousands of years, since there has to be something known as a legal marriage.

When in American history was marriage considered legal, based on whatever a mosque, or cult, or gay church, or Mormon Temple, said, just because they were a religion?

Is that what you are calling for now? What do you think your chances are of ending the need for law in marriage and divorce? Even Thomas Jefferson (marriage license bought 1771) dealt in divorce law as an attorney, the federal government was passing laws in regard to marriage in the 1780s and 1790s.

I’ve never heard of such laws except in cases of employment.
