That's my entire point. Marriage is fluidly defined - because it is defined by cultural norms. In that sence it is ridiculous for the government to make laws statically defining it.
In other words, you have no point. Because there are a number of laws defined by cultural norms. Should the government get out of defining the age of a legal adult? Our culture believes that age should be fixed at 18 years. Other cultures believe the age should be much younger. This is but one example of the government using "cultural norms" to craft a legal defintion.
