It’s a government issue because of transfer of property upon death and taxes

Another issue that government should have no part in. The crown was excluded from death taxes upon the death of queen Elizabeth because it was depreciate the wealth of the crown. Another example of rules for thee, not for me.

I know English bureaucracy was a poor example. However, it was recent and more transparent than financial events that occur here. We all know the state and it's representatives find ways to exclude themselves from taxes we the people have to pay.

The government has to set up some institutions like marriage or else the courts would constantly be clogged with people individually suing to protect their interests. Same goes for a lot of libertarian arguments like getting rid of he EPA.

The divorce courts are already clogged. If people choose to go through a church or other religious institution to sanctify their marriage, let them. I don't see why I have to seek the crowns approval and why I have to pay them for a permit. People also sue to protect their interests as is. People need to be accountable for their actions, we can't advocate for govt to solve all problems as that gives govt the power to cause a lot of problems.
