No Church Ritual should have the ability to confer legal rights on participants. It does not now Ichy, at least not in the Catholic Church. There is a separate secular marriage component which confers the legal status... the rest of the hocus pocus is meaningless under the law. It means that priests, like judges, justice os the peaces etc can perform the 'civil' component also...
