Star Trek

I imagine, and may obviously be out in left field, that Starfleet allowed crew members to marry, as it would pretty clearly be a rights violation to tell anyone that they are forbidden to marry, (I'm thinking that Starfleet is evolved enough to not have any stupid Prop 8) yet, if a couple does tie the knot one would have had to be reassigned once the ship returns to spacedock at the end of the tour so as to avoid the "families on board" issues. I remember reading, even, that the backstory of the Enterprise E includes a bit about the experiment with onboard families being largely deemed a failure and the E model reverting to only carrying serving crew. I don't know how canon this was, but I do remember reading it.
