“How is a right “licensed” by the state?”

Why can’t I just ask government agents to find some woman and make her be my wife, like the right to an attorney, where they have to find someone to be my lawyer in court?

Why can’t I just marry whomever I please? But wait, a woman can turn me down on a marriage proposal. No one likes the idea, but it can happen.

The whole problem here is that they mess with the definition of what a right so much as even is:

1) Something you can call upon the government to provide you with.
2) Something that a person is compelled to comply with
3) Something that everyone must recognize.

In all three cases, even with real traditional marriage, this would not be true, and therefore, marriage is not a right.
