Re: Learn the basics.
Unless it is recorded and sanctioned by the government it carries NO rights or responsibilities.
Nonsense. There are plenty of other societal forces other than the government that can compel completion of contracts. Office football pools are not sanctioned by the government, but the pool runners are obligated to pay the winners despite the fact that the winners cannot and will not sue.

Re: Learn the basics.
Seriously? Fantasy football is your example when talking about the binding contract issued by the state for legal marriages?
Of course not. I am not suggesting at all that government recognition of marriage is unimportant. There are a whole host of rights that married couples have that come only with government recognition. People, like Buzsaw that suggest that those things are unimportant are simply wrong.
But jar's comment still goes way overboard. Not every responsibility that we expect people to respect is enforced by the government. And in fact, marriages involved a lot of duties and responsibilities that are not enforced by the government.

Re: Learn the basics.
But office football pools are not marriage I believe.
Do you truly believe that the only duties and responsibilities in a marriage are those which are enforced by the government?

Re: Learn the basics.
There is no marriage unless it is recognized by the government.
Of course it would be off topic to discuss the above. The above is not remotely the same as your original statement, which was "Unless it is recorded and sanctioned by the government it carries NO rights or responsibilities."
