I realized that marriage laws are under the control of each state and not the feds.
Marriage, which binds people in a civil contract, is a civil matter.
Therefore, could pressure be applied requiring an open marriage ceremony? Either by a legislative bill or by petition on a ballet?
It would fail in Utah. But maybe work in other states.
Once in place the church would be forced to allow a civil marriage before or after a temple marriage as they do in several countries.
How long after that would they allow the civil marriage with no waiting period across the board?
