marriage

You are underestimating what it requires to arbitrate a contract. It isn't very long before a system identical to the one we have would evolve. Imagine the year 1965:

Arbiter: "I am the appointed judge for this county and I find that this marital contract is not valid because it was made by two men."

Voters: "Yay we like Arbiter and re-elect him judge."

Hank: "But the marital contract is merely a financial instrument involving a small amount of voluntary servitude."

Voters: "That guy must be a faggot."
