i don't think i ever heard a coherent explanation of why a Real Marriage should be recognized by the state. (*a* state??) church, sure.
@whitequark Because lots of people are forcibly separated from their partners by the state unless they're married.

@RichFelker no no, that's the reason of why you have to state-marry. but not why state-marriage is the Real Marriage. -
@whitequark OK, I don't understand your question then. -
@RichFelker why do people say "your [civil] marriage is morally inferior to our [state] marriage" -
@whitequark I have no answer. I didn't know looking down on the "moral status" of other ppl's marriages over civil/state status was a thing.
