Newsflash! Marriage is a life-long contractual obligation! What's yours is hers, and it doesn't matter if you don't have a joint bank account.
Would you sign a life-long contract for any job? I wouldn't. That's why I'll never get married.
To answer the main question. The state does have the right to do it. If they didn't, they couldn't do it. I don't agree with it, but I guess that since I'll never get married I could really care less.
