thanks for proving my point
state acknoledgement of marriage has to do with who gets the goods, not what religion they are. Also point out that your link is probably transliterated as opposed to translated.

I really dont believe that the word marriage as we understand it is the actual translation of the words being used. A little bit like watching the cartoon land of the lost. We attribute modern terms and conventions on an alien race.
