No. In this case the crux of the matter is the protection of the majority from minority rule.

A judge in Utah rules that polygamy bans are unconstitutional. A judge in Transylvania says that bans against marrying the dead are unconstitutional. Bans against marrying cousins, or brothers? Mere old-fashioned whimsey. You want to marry your cat, tpaine? Come on, admit it, we're all modern folk here. If one state says it is so, then that's it! It's a done deal!

Why do you want the government involved in the sacrament of marriage, McKinley?

You get married according to your faith, I to mine. Anything wrong with that?
