When and what determined marriage to be a matter of civil law? I suggest removing civil government from making any law concerning marriage. Maybe is best left to be determined by church and local customs?
It seems the Federal Government becoming involved in marriage began with the bureau of Internal Revenue! 1913
1900 – All states now grant married women the right to own property in their own name.
1904 – LDS Church President Joseph F. Smith issues the 1904 "Second Manifesto", which stated that the church was no longer sanctioning plural (polygamous) marriages and would excommunicate anyone who participates in future polygamy.[1]
1907 – Under the Expatriation Act of 1907, American women will lose citizenship when they marry a foreign husband.[2]
1913 – The federal government formally recognizes marriage in law for the first time with the passage of the Revenue Act of 1913.
1929 – All states now have laws regarding marriage licenses.
1933 – Married women granted right to citizenship independent of their husbands.
1948 – California Supreme Court overturns interracial marriage ban (Perez v. Sharp).
1965 – The Supreme Court overturns laws prohibiting married couples from using contraception (Griswold v. Connecticut).
