They could say that it would just give people who couldn't get legally married more incentive to become politically involved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Google#China http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Google#China Google could provide a marriage API that would allow companies, like insurers, to have their system check if people are married, to determine benefits. Building law checking into their system might not target people who are attempting fraud, but removing false entries of any kind could increase the reputation of the system.
