There are too many legal issues tied to marriage for there to be no government marriage.
it actually just removes the Marriage License. Those that get married in the church file a marriage certificate signed by the clergy and the couple. Those that join in union outside of the church would then have common law marriage and would supply an affidavit to the county clerk.
