ANd you can bet those states that allow parents to sell their 12 year olds into a marriage with what could only be described as a pedophile also banned two consenting adults from marrying if they were gay to "preserve the sanctity" of marriagemarriage has always been a State level Contract, outside the control of the feds.
Wrong.
When you file federal income taxes, do you file a joint return?
That's federal.
When you file federal income taxes, do you accept child tax credits?
That's federal gifts you are accepting.
When a person dies, does their spouse collect Social Security survivor benefits?
That's federal cash and prizes.
The federal government is all up in your marriage and your family.
The feds don't set conditions for the State Contracts, which is why you can marry your 12 year old cousin (with parental permission) in one State and not another, but still apply as married when it comes to your taxes.
