Indiana marriage law is discriminatory, US court says in ruling for humanists - CSMonitor.com
Another problem with Indiana's law is that it discriminated against religions without clergy (e.g. Quakers) or those without "an organizational commitment to marriage" (e.g. Buddhism). The judge's ruling is hilarious. She points out that Indiana recognizes marriages carried out by leaders in the Church of Satan (whose priestess believes she derives powers from having sex with Satan) and fake ministers of the ULC who bought their credentials, but not Buddhists.

The solution the judge, humanist plaintiffs, and other states have come up with is to recognize marriages solemnized by notaries.
Another problem with having a judge or some other kind of governmental official solemnize a marriage is that that person is most likely of a different religion or denomination even though he or she is conducting a secular ceremony. Also, a secular ceremony may not be sufficient for certain religious persons.
