There is no right to marriage in the constitution. That means there is no link to a website that asserts that there is a right to marriage granted in the constitution.
When the constitution was written in the late 1700's marriage wasn't a concern of the government. Marriages were granted by churches. State issued marriage licenses didn't become a function of government until the early 1900's.The authors of the constitution had no idea that such a thing would ever be considered.
The authors of the constitution didn't know about a lot of things.
Many things have changed and more will change in the future.
