I don't believe I was referring to state requirements.

If the state requirements  are the definition of marriage, then it
simply wouldn't matter.

If this is it:
"A state recognized legal commitment between two people, which creates
interpersonal responsibilities and civil benefits (taxes, etc)"

Then those two sisters I knew who lived together for many years would
have been married also.
