Uh, no.
This is where you are totally wrong.
The idea of marriage dates back WAY before popular religions deemed it as such. It was originally a transfer of wealth...or property..which the "wife" was part of.
That's never been the tradition of marriage in this country, which was based in Christianity from the get-go. I'm not talking about the days in ancient worlds when people traded off their oldest daughter for two pigs and a lamb.
