Why do you think there’d be a problem with it. 7 states already recognize common law marriages and have forever. How is this any different?
Technically, the contract becomes a common law contract
marriage remains a Church function to acknowledge the contract between an man and a women
“Why do you think there’d be a problem with it.”
WHY?
For starters, any such law would undermine the power of the Federal Government.
Second, the homosexual community would have a federal lawsuit before their Supreme Court before the week was out.
I think if you dig you will find that all states except Louisiana recognize common law marriage. Maybe the statutes don’t say it, but so what?
Statutes don’t have anything to do with common law anyway.
