Letter to the editor: Civil, church weddings

Notes: Letter. Author writes to propose a change in civil marriage legislation so that "all weddings must be performed as civil weddings. Then, if a church wants to perform a ceremony in accordance with that church's rules, that rite can be secondary. Then, when one comes to have a religious ceremony, the method of determining the form of the marriage will be that followed by the denomination. And the state will not recognize such marriage until a civil marriage is performed".
