So you're saying a woman can't marry a man under current law, only the man can marry the woman?

Man, woman, gay, straight, they all can marry. There's no gender-based discrimination there. There are certain restrictions on marriage. You can't marry your mother or father. You can't marry somebody who is already married. I can't marry Angelina Jolie even if I was single. You can't marry somebody of the same sex. You can't marry an infant. You can't marry a dead person, or an animal, or a host of other things like fireplugs. But men can marry, and women can marry. What other gender is there?
