• “The test which emerged from the [Zablocki] to determine whether the fundamental right to marry was implicated sufficiently to require strict scrutiny was whether the regulation(s) ‘interfere directly and substantially with the right to marry.’”
• “[WJhere a policy does not order individuals not to marry, nor ... directly and substantially interfere with the right to marry, the plaintiff has failed to show that the regulation infringes on either the right to marry or the First Amendment right of intimate association.”
