It's slow going so please be patient and bear with me. My point will become apparent over time. This is a discussion, there is no winner.

"the government only arbitrates contracts"

I made that sentence to clarify. The longer version of the sentence would be, "So, in your suggested concept of how this should work, the government only arbitrates contracts."

That is what you are saying. You are also saying that your suggested concept of how this should work includes all of the current mechanisms of law.

So under your suggested concept, anyone can make a marital contract with anyone else, except for those who can't make a contract with someone else, such as people under 18. You can't make a contract with someone underage, so you can't make a marital contract with someone underage. Is this also your position?
