There is no right to marriage. It is a contract, regulated by the State.

There is a right to pursue happiness, if you beleve in the Declaration of Independence. The State's right to interfere in agreements between individuals is limited. If the contract in question does not infringe on anyone's rights, the government has no business interfering.

The same business involved in any social convention. Society is not all "rights for me", there are also duties, Steven.

The government exists to protect the rights of its citizens, not to enforce social convention or impose your particular concept of duty.
