Get rid of it the whole thing - it's pointless!When a marriage contract includes more than 2 people, isn't there a possibility of abuse through incorporation?
If I'm married and the wife dies, the contract is ended but for tax purposes I can "inherit" the wife's possessions for free. When I kick it, then the estate is taxed.
If I'm married to 3 wives, and one goes, what happens? Say I add a younger wife, and then we add a younger husband to the mix before I die? Can the marriage contract be extended indefinitely in this manner?

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
(Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
