I’m still not seeing marriage definition there. From a practical standpoint, if the FedGov were the sole authority in defining marriage, then it would also have to be the sole authority to define divorce. It does not, the states do; that’s because its a state issue. Visas and passports are issued by the federal government; marriage certificates are issued by the state.
