Abstract and Keywords
After supplying history regarding the legislation of wedding in the usa, this informative article examines the various spiritual exemptions—solemnization exemptions, religious-organization exemptions, commercial exemptions, Religious Freedom Restoration Act exemptions, the ministerial-exception exemption, and tax exemptions—that are in place or proposed for US wedding guidelines. Although these exemptions are often proposed into the title of religious freedom, within the long haul their quantity, range, and breadth threaten the religious neutrality that the initial Amendment for the U.S. Constitution calls for. Solemnization exemptions control which clergy and which federal federal government officials are allowed by states to execute marriages. Spiritual organization exemptions free some institutions from keeping marriages they find exceptionable.
