The solution to this is incredibly simple.  The court says marriage is a religious ritual.  The US Constitution prohibits any law that infringes upon freedom of religion.  Therefore the provisions of marriage is a mute point and cannot be further considered in a court of law.


Secondly, the State has the power to regulate civil contracts and has done on numerous occasions in the past.  For any two people to cohabitate and enjoy the benefits and obligations afforded by government and society is by agreeing to and signing a contract of civil partnership. It is only fitting and appropriate that the State regulate those civil contracts to insure that they do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, or gender.


End of problem.
