I couldn't really answer the second question as it stands. I dislike the conflation of "a religious or social ceremony in which commitment is expressed" and "a legal contract for the sharing of various rights and responsibilities".

I think people should be able to call the former marriage if they want to and define it pretty much however they like, as long as all the participants agree on the definition.

I think it would be better if the latter had a different name, and in theory I think it should be open to any number of people who want to commit to one another, but in practice the legislation for that will be an absolute nightmare, and I don't think that writing it should be a particularly high priority.
