And the part that always gets me is that Judaism, the religion they're basing this concept on, says that marriage is a secular contract first, and a religious ceremony second. The signing of the contract is a notable step in the process. (Yes, today they sign both the Hebrew document and the state papers at the same time.) The same section they're quoting also allows for multiple spouses and other things that most folks like Card conveniently ignore.
Working out the house rules for one's Judeo-Christian-Islamic sect is a lot like working out the house rules for one's favorite RPG, from what I can tell. Is that good or bad? :-)
